I-5 northbound still partially blocked near Olympia hours after collision involving semi-truck

There is no estimate for when the roadway will fully reopen.

OLYMPIA, Wash. — One lane of Interstate 5 near U.S. 101 in the Olympia area remains closed hours after a collision involving three semi-trucks and a car, officials say.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) first posted about the collision just after 5 a.m. Monday morning. All traffic is being diverted to Deschutes Parkway, WSDOT said. All lanes were initially blocked.

WSDOT reopened most of the lanes by 9 a.m., but traffic remained backed up for miles over much of the morning commute.
