Eugene, OR – Eugene Springfield Fire responded to a motor vehicle accident at Park and Northwest Expressway just after 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Emergency crews, including one engine, one truck, a Battalion chief, and two ambulances from the Whitaker station, arrived at the scene and began stabilizing the vehicle.
