3-Car Crash Blocks Northbound State Route 167 Near Renton
Troopers said one driver fled the scene, and another driver had a broken wrist.
RENTON, WA — A three-car crash blocked northbound lanes of State Route 167 near South 180th Street Friday, according to Washington State Patrol. Troopers said the driver of a non-causing vehicle fled the scene. Another driver had a possible broken wrist. Northbound lanes were fully blocked for a short time as investigators flew a drone to map the crash scene. The HOV and left lane were blocked until the scene cleared at 1 p.m. WSDOT said backups related to the crash had reached two miles by noon.
#Update. NB 167 fully closed while the detectives fly the UAV to map the scene. This will take about 20 minutes. #BePatient pic.twitter.com/bEG1SLX5jT
