The truck, carrying gear for opening act Miguel, crashed on the Interstate during morning commute, sending the driver to the hospital, according to the Oregonian.
The production crew was heading to the Moda Center for a show that evening. The concert went on as scheduled and the gear was reportedly intact.
The freeway was closed until 8:30 a.m. and the truck leaked between 75 and 100 gallons of diesel after the rash, according to reports.
The leak was said to be “not an unusually large amount” for a truck of its size.
The I-5 interstate is also the site of a truck accident involving the Kanye West tour. West was forced to reschedule several dates after a truck carrying a video screen an other gear crashed on the I-5 in California Oct. 31.
