Multi-Car Crash Injures 3, Damages Hillsboro Shute Park Library

A multi-vehicle crash on Southeast 10th Avenue near Southeast Maple Street in Hillsboro resulted in one car striking the Shute Park Library, causing injuries and forcing the library to close. Emergency responders treated six people for injuries at the scene, with three—one inside the library, one outside, and one in the vehicle that hit the building—transported to the hospital; all are expected to survive. The crash involved five vehicles and caused damage to the library's facade and broken glass, but the building's structural integrity remains intact. Southbound lanes of 10th Avenue were blocked, and authorities advised drivers to avoid the area and seek alternate routes. The library closure is indefinite, with no announced reopening date, while another local branch, Brookwood Library, remains open. Police and fire crews cleared the scene, though some police presence remained as investigations continued.
