PORTLAND, Ore. - A crash involving a Winnebago on Interstate 5 near the Rose Quarter led to slow going through Portland Sunday afternoon.

One person injured in the wreck was taken to Legacy Emanuel Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Portland Fire Bureau. 

The names of those involved were not immediately released.

The motorhome, which was towing a car, flipped in the southbound lanes just before the Broadway exit about 2 p.m. It was not clear what caused it to flip.

Police said no citations were issued.

Southbound motorists were detoured onto the Fremont Bridge and I-405 for several hours.

The highway was reopened shortly after 5 p.m.
