This afternoon - I5 southn of Portland -
WILSONVILLE, Ore. -- A group of more than two dozens motorcycles crashed on Interstate 5 Friday afternoon, seriously injuring two people and hurting at least eight more.

Early reports indicate a group of at least 26 motorcyclists were northbound on I-5 around 2:45 p.m. behind a passenger car when traffic ahead began to slow. The car and motorcycles collided, also hitting an adjacent vehicle.
Two motorcyclists were taken from the scene by air ambulance with critical injuries. Eight others were transported by ground ambulance.

A single lane has been opened to clear vehicles behind the closure point. A police investigation may keep northbound lanes closed for a prolonged period.

26 bikes wrecked with one another?
Holy Chaos.
Sorry to hear about the guys who got hurt. Someone's formation was perhaps a little tight or a little fast...
26 bikes - what a nightmare...
