Overturned Semi Snarls I-5 In Tacoma Friday
All northbound lanes were blocked at 38th Street in Tacoma Friday morning.
TACOMA, WA - An overturned semitrailer caused traffic headaches Friday morning along I-5 in Tacoma. The truck overturned near 38th Street, and blocked all northbound lanes for a brief time. The semi hit some construction cones in the area when it crashed.
The roadway was reopened by 6:30 a.m., although crews still had to clean up spilled fuel in the collector-distributor lanes.
All lanes are open! This was a quick response for our Troopers and DOT Team! Thanks for your patience this morning! @wsdot_traffic
