BREAKING REPORT – In the early hours of a rainy morning, deep in the mountainous forests of the Pacific Northwest, a massive rescue operation unfolded on a stretch of remote highway that would soon become the center of a national mystery.
Scattered luggage. Twisted metal. Emergency crews working in silence. The scene looked like something pulled straight out of a disaster movie — but this was very real.
Authorities received the first distress call at around 6:42 AM. A passenger bus en route to Portland reportedly lost control after a sudden landslide hit a section of Highway 18, pushing the vehicle into oncoming traffic. The impact caused a chain reaction involving multiple vehicles, including two semi-trucks and a family SUV.
Firefighters, medics, and local police responded within minutes, navigating the mud-covered road and the treacherous terrain. Eyewitnesses described hearing screams, the screeching of tires, and then — complete silence.
As families await confirmation about missing loved ones, pressure mounts on local and federal authorities to release more information. But with the official investigation sealed under federal jurisdiction, the truth may remain hidden for now.
