PORTLAND, OR -Two people were sent to the hospital following a wrong-way crash on I-5 early this morning.

According to a report by KOIN, the crash occurred when the driver of a Toyota Avalon was heading south in the northbound lanes of the interstate near Terwilliger Boulevard and crashed head-on into a semi-truck.
