LA GRANDE — Interstate 84 has reopened in both directions as of 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27, after a crash near La Grande closed eastbound lanes and a wildfire near Pendleton closed westbound lanes earlier in the day.

An email from the Oregon Department of Transportation asked motorists to be alert for emergency vehicles in the eastbound lanes of the interstate near milepost 268.

Eastbound lanes between Pendleton and Baker City closed at about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in the wake of a crash involving a semitruck 7 miles east of La Grande, near milepost 268. Other details of that crash were not available Tuesday night.

Later in the day, westbound lanes on I-84 were closed due to the wildfire, the 100-acre Tutuilla Church Road Fire, which is burning near the interstate about 11 miles southeast of Pendleton. The fire was first reported shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Watch Duty website. 

This is a developing story and will be updated as additional information becomes available.
