Going To Independence Tonight? Do NOT Take River Rd
A semi truck did the thing that the dozen or so signs told them not to do, he is currently going reverse down River Rd backing away from the train bridge, with stopped police escort (they are stopping traffic a quarter mile back, letting the truck back up, going around, repeat...I was lucky enough to have just missed it on the way out and saw the above on the way back to Salem).
If you are headed to Independence, take Skyline all the way to that steep hill, or 22 to Rickreall(?) ish, then south to Independence.
