Lanes Reopen In Sumner After Semi Rolled On Westbound SR 410

SUMNER, WA — Westbound lanes of State Route 410 were blocked in Sumner through the evening commute after a semi-truck rolled under the Traffic Avenue overpass Wednesday afternoon. According to Washington State Patrol, witnesses reported the truck drifted to the right side of the road and struck a guardrail before tipping over shortly before 1 p.m. The truck's driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

East Pierce Fire posted photos of the semi on its side, and city officials said a cleanup effort would likely take some time. By 2:30 p.m. crews were still working to upright the truck and clean diesel that spilled across the road. Tow trucks began removing the semi shortly before 3 p.m. and briefly allowed stuck drivers to travel through the scene before closing the road again. All westbound lanes were blocked at Valley Avenue until 6:30 p.m.
