A Vancouver truck driver died Sunday morning while placing chains on his tractor-trailer’s tires along Interstate 84 in eastern Oregon.
Igor S. Nikolaychuk, 50, was chaining up at the trailer’s left rear axle at about 8:30 a.m. when a 2007 Cadillac traveling on the highway began to slide and the car’s front bumper struck Nikolaychuk, according to an Oregon State Police news release.
