Power lines block I-5 in north Seattle

UPDATE: I-5 is back open in both directions after a two-hour backup Saturday morning. Both sides of the highway were blocked due to downed power lines after an accident around 8:30 this morning. It happened between NE 130th and NE 145th streets, forcing traffic to come to a standstill for almost three hours.

Seattle City Light is still working to get power back on to more than 150 customers.

Fortunately there were only minor injuries.
