~~Over a full day between~~ Only a few hours between the two accidents at the same location. Notable that both were hauling two trailers each.

The first truck was hauling two trailers and crashed just before 9 p.m. Friday when the driver hit an abandoned vehicle that was parked on the shoulder of the freeway, smashing through the guardrail and plunging into the river. The driver was able to swim to shore and was not injured, according to the Sherman County Sheriff's Office.

The second truck crashed just before 12:30 a.m. Saturday as emergency responders were on scene for the first crash. A semi with two fuel tanker trailers in tow struck an Oregon Department of Transportation vehicle, slid off the freeway and crashed into the river next to the first two trailers. Investigators said the driver likely fell asleep before the crash. The sheriff's office said the tanks were empty.

Isn’t that only 3.5 hours between them? 9pm Friday to 12:30 AM Saturday?
