Highway 22 reopened just before 4:30 p.m. Nov. 20 after a crash closed it in both directions near Dallas, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation.
The crash was reported at about 1:47 p.m. about 11 miles east of the Salmon River Highway junction, according to PulsePoint.
Southwest Polk Fire District was responding to the crash.
TripCheck showed about 3 miles of the highway was completely closed and a detour was in place.
ODOT said the closure was expected to be lengthy and advised drivers to use alternate routes and watch for emergency responders.
