Troopers say one man died and another has critical injuries. They will not be releasing names until Saturday morning.
The accident happened around 1:35 p.m. on Interstate 5 just south of the Rogue River exit.
Troopers say a 2004 Dodge Ram driven by a 82-year-old man was northbound on I5 when it collided into the rear of a 2003 Dodge pickup driven by a White City man.
After colliding with the pickup, the Ram swerved to the left into the center median and then skidded back across the northbound lanes. It then rolled on the east side shoulder, coming to rest on its top in a drainage ditch that had running water.
Fire crews extricated both people from the Ram truck. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. His passenger was transfered to Asante Medical Center with critical injuries.
The people in the other truck were not hurt.
The crash reduced northbound traffic to one lane for two hours.
Troopers are continuing their investigation.
