FEDERAL WAY, Wash. — All lanes of northbound Interstate 5 have reopened in Federal Way after three crashes blocked the highway Thursday.
No injuries were reported.
The crashes happened near South 320th Street just after noon. One car rolled over, a second crash involved a semi-truck and a truck pulling a trailer and the third crash involved two cars.
"Debris and vehicles all over the place," Washington State Patrol Trooper Rick Johnson posted on X, formerly Twitter.
The semi-truck and a small trailer lost some of their contents in the collision and debris was spread across all lanes, according to South King County Fire.
The crash cleared just after 2 p.m.
Drivers were asked to seek alternate routes and expect long delays. As of 1:40 p.m., the backup had reached 5 miles long and extended to Fife.
