TACOMA, WA — A pickup truck flipped on top of a semi-truck Thursday afternoon, causing delays on State Route 509 near the Port of Tacoma, according to The News Tribune.

Details are limited, but Tacoma Fire officials said three vehicles were involved, with one rolling onto the hood of a semi-trailer. A third vehicle appeared to have sustained severe front-end damage.
