PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A car crashed into a propane tank at a Wilco store in McMinnville, setting off a large fire and evacuations in the immediate area Tuesday afternoon.
Officials quickly sprang into action and closed all lanes of OR-99W in the immediate aftermath. The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office also ordered evacuations for everyone within a one-mile radius of the crash site, but later dropped that order to just 1000-feet from the immediate area.
Shortly before 7 p.m., the evacuations were lifted altogether.
Power was shut off at locations within the evacuation radius as emergency crews rushed to the scene…
