Ramp closed

The eastbound on-ramp to Interstate 80 at Center Street was closed for more than an hour Monday as rescue workers tried to extract the driver of this car. Police said the car was traveling south on Center and turned onto the ramp against the red light, crossing the path of an oncoming car that had a green light. After the driver was removed from the vehicle, he was taken to Renown Hospital. The body of a dog killed in the wreck was also removed.
