A serious crash near the intersection of Highway 26, Banks Road, and Harrison Road has closed Highway 26 at the Highway 6 junction.
Highway 47, which would usually serve as a detour route, remains closed just west of Banks due to a bridge replacement project that has gone well past the original completion date.
The Oregon Department of Transportation said a detour around the crash was established.
Highway 47 was also closed following a fatal crash between Banks and Forest Grove Thursday.
This is a developing story and will be updated as soon as information is confirmed.
