Ice Storm Causes Real Bumper Cars in Portland

Winter hit hard in the Northwest and lots of ice and snow followed. Too bad many people didn't heed the advice of the Oregon Department of Transportation when they advised not going out on the super icy roads unless absolutely necessary. Here's the story from NCNW and KGW.com

In Portland, a firetruck was responding to a six-car pileup and got struck by a sliding car at SW 21st and Salmon. No one was injured but the accident blocked the roadway. One resident heard crunching outside his apartment and witnessed about 15 car accidents at the intersection, many of which he captured on home video.
