TRAFFIC ALERT UPDATE: NB 5 exit to West Seattle Bridge reopens after sideways-semi crash

3:51 PM: The State Patrol – which shared the photo – says a tow crew is on the way to the scene where that on-its-side semitruck is blocking the northbound I-5 exit to the West Seattle Bridge. Here’s how WSDOT advises getting around it.

4:13 PM: The tow team has arrived, reports the WSP with that tweeted video clip – but no estimated time yet for reopening.

4:34 PM: Major progress – the crew has the truck upright.

5:45 PM: Finally reopened.

    Driver should have CDL revoked for life.

      Don’t know anything about the circumstances. Anyway, the ramp should reopen soon – the truck and trailer were moved off minutes ago, according to WSDOT.

    So this was separate from the lumber truck? At least there was no seafood involved. Or bees. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
