MONROE, Wash. — A portion of Highway 2 near Monroe is back open after Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue says a semi-truck rear-ended a pickup.
The crash resulted in gallons of an herbicide mix spilling onto the roadway at milepost 12.
“We contained the liquids using absorbent materials and will be handing command to WSP and Department of Ecology for further cleanup,” Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue said.
Washington State Patrol says westbound traffic was diverted to Roosevelt Road and Eastbound traffic was diverted to Fryelands Boulevard for several hours while the mess was cleaned up.
