PORTLAND -- State Police are investigating a fatal crash on Interstate 84 east of Corbett that involved a motorist driving the wrong way.

Lt. Gregg Hastings says a 2007 Kia Rio was traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes late Friday when it collided with a pickup driven by 53-year-old James Schneider of White Salmon, Wash.

The woman driving the Kia died at the scene. She was later identified as 36-year-old Erika K. Myers of Portland.

Schneider was taken to a Portland hospital with serious injuries.

Hastings says at least one driver complained about a wrong-way vehicle just before crash.
