Officials say a driver went off the snow-covered road and into a ditch.

As deputies, firefighters, and paramedics were responding to that crash, a second driver slid on the slick road and crashed into the back of a sheriff’s office vehicles.

The driver told KATU he tried to stop, but he couldn’t due to the snow.
