Traffic backed up on southbound I-5 in Tacoma after semi-trailer crashes

WSDOT says the crash happened just before 2 p.m. near the State Route 16 overpass and crews are working to clear the scene. Two lanes have now reopened.

They say drivers should expect delays, and WSDOT is working to redirect traffic.



The cause of the crash is under investigation, but WSP says no one was hurt.
