Oregon salmon accidentally populate wrong river after truck carrying them crashes

Mid Michigan Now reports

Tens of thousands of threatened Chinook salmon were reintroduced into the Oregon ecosystem Friday, but not in the river they were intended for.

A truck carrying roughly 100,000 fish from Lookingglass Hatchery to the Imnaha River in the north of the state crashed along Lookingglass Creek, killing about a quarter of the cargo and causing the remainder to slide into the creek.
