Westbound Interstate 84 is open after a semi-truck jackknifed and blocked all lanes about five miles east of Cascade Locks on Tuesday morning.

No one was hurt.

Traffic was backed up for miles.

Oregon State Police cited the driver for careless driving. Police said other drivers were complaining about the truck driver's speed before the crash.
