SEATTLE — A multi-vehicle crash along southbound I-5 near the Ship Canal Bridge shut down multiple lanes during Wednesday’s morning commute, causing over 6-mile backups extending into Shoreline.
The crash happened around 5:30 a.m., according to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
Just before 7 a.m., WSDOT reported around 6 miles of traffic backups extending into Shoreline.
According to Trooper Rick Johnson with the Washington State Patrol, the crash involved at least one car and one semi-truck. Trooper Johnson confirmed that nobody was seriously injured in the crash.
The crash cleared, and all lanes reopened just before 8 a.m., but WSDOT asked drivers to continue to expect delays as traffic adjusts.
