Troopers with the Oregon State police dealt with two freeway wrecks caused by rain and standing water Monday afternoon.

An OSP report said at about 12:50 p.m. a northbound sedan was in the right lane of travel on Interstate 5 about one mile south of the Glendale exit when the vehicle hydroplaned due to heavy rain and slid off the road. There was standing water reported in the area prior to the crash. The sedan struck an Oregon Department of Transportation maintained fence. The vehicle came to rest in the ditch facing in a westerly direction. Approximately 100 feet of fencing was damaged. No one was injured. The vehicle was towed from the scene.

At about 1:10 p.m. a sedan was northbound on the freeway about three miles north of the Canyon Mountain summit when it hydroplaned and slid off the road, due to heavy rain. The driver had minor injuries. The vehicle was towed away.
