A manufactured home ended up blocking a highway in Oregon on Monday after the truck that was hauling it lost control and jackknifed on the roadway.
The incident happened on Monday, November 6th on Interstate 84 in Hood River, Oregon.
According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, the truck driver was on the I-84 exit ramp, leaving the highway, when he lost control for unknown reasons and veered off the road and into the unpaved shoulder.
The truck then struck the exit 63 sign and two fog markers before coming to rest across the westbound lanes of Interstate 84.
