VEHICLE ROLLS EAST OF LEMOLO FALLS

February 9, 2023 3:40 a.m.

A vehicle rolled on Highway 138E, east of Lemolo Falls on Tuesday afternoon.

An Oregon State Police report said just before 4:30 p.m. a sedan was eastbound apparently traveling too fast for the icy and snowy conditions. The operator lost control, struck the guardrail and snowbank and came to a rest upside down, blocking both lanes of travel.

Staff from the Oregon Department of Transportation responded, up righted the vehicle and cleared it from the roadway. Diamond Lake first responders transported both occupants back to the Diamond Lake Lodge to await law enforcement. The vehicle was towed. ODOT provided traffic control throughout the incident.
