PIERCE COUNTY, Wash. — The ramp from northbound Interstate 5 to State Route 167 in Pierce County was fully blocked for several hours Thursday because of an overturned dump truck.
Commuters who needed to access SR-167 from I-5 were able to use the Portland Avenue exit.
According to the Washington State Patrol, the back-left tire of the trailer ruptured, causing the driver to lose control.
The truck spilled dirt all over the ramp.
A tow truck arrived quickly to remove the truck. No word on whether there were any injuries.
