Candy Mountain News Today

If you’re from around these parts, you’re likely very familiar with the barrage of bumps on eastbound Interstate 82 between Prosser and Benton City at milepost 91.9. The bumps have been there since the late 80s and the WSDOT hasn’t been able to find a way to fix the problem. Why? The answer is a deep one, literally.

At first glance, you might think the images are from Utah’s Zion Canyon – in fact, most residents of the Pacific Northwest find it hard to believe this scenic byway is in Oregon. And, it’s less than a day’s drive from anywhere in Washington, Oregon, or northern California.

The victim was found laying injured for an unknown period. He was airlifted to a trauma center.
