(SALEM) - Salem Fire Department responded to motor vehicle accident at 8:48 AM on Friday.

The tractor-trailer vs. vehicle accident sent 3 Engines, a ladder truck and a Battalion Chief to the southbound ramp onto I-5 from Kuebler Blvd.

Salem firefighters used extrication tools to remove the doors to a Chevrolet Avalanche in order to get the driver out of the vehicle.

The lone male drivers of both the tractor-trailer and the vehicle were transported to Salem Hospital in stable condition.

Salem firefighters and ODOT crews spread absorbent materials to soak up approximately 100 gallons of diesel leaking towards the storm drain from the jack-knifed tractor-trailer rig.

Oregon State Police is investigating the accident.
