News: Log truck crash closes right lanes on I-5 NB near Puyallup River

TACOMA, WA — Authorities responded to a crash involving a log truck Wednesday morning on Interstate 5, east of downtown Tacoma, according to King 5.

The wreck took place on the northbound lanes of I-5 near East Bay Street, just before the Puyallup River. Shortly after 8:15 a.m, the Washington State Patrol reported that multiple crews had arrived at the scene, leaving the right lanes blocked to traffic.

It was unclear what led up to the collision or whether another vehicle was involved, but a phot captured at the scene shows several logs at least partially spilled out onto the roadway.

No major injuries have been reported in connection to the crash.
