A semi-truck ended up dangling over a barrier above the Mercer Street onramps to I-5 in Seattle on Wednesday.
It went off the road at the southbound express lanes onramp.
Only the semi-truck was involved in the crash. The driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
When it went off the road, the truck hit a tree, which fell and is blocking the Mercer Street onramp to northbound I-5.
Tow crews recovered the semi truck from the bank. A Seattle Department of Transportation crew also cleaned up a fuel leak.
WSDOT said its crews did not find any structural damage to the bridge aside from damaged railing that has been replaced by a barrier while permanent repairs are scheduled.
I-5 express lanes through Seattle have reopened.
Rescue 1 has secured the semi, and the tow truck has arrived. SDOT is on scene to mitigate a fuel leak from the tractor fuel tank. No other reported injuries at this time. pic.twitter.com/1riUcKZpAp
