On the I-5 southbound on-ramp at 44th Avenue, there was a truck collision Tuesday that had been blocking the two right lanes.
As of 5 p.m., Trooper Rocky Oliphant says the truck has been removed from the road. Debris and oils are being cleaned before it is fully reopened.
It is just the semi-truck vs a barrier. Miraculously no injuries. Tow has made quick work and already removed the truck from the road. Currently cleaning debris and oils out of the road now.

No injuries were reported.
Medical Aid, Fire Assistance, the Incident Response Team, and State Patrol all arrived on scene. The Washington State Department of Transportation said the HOV lane was open to all while the collision was being cleared in order to keep traffic moving through the area.
The HOV lane is open to all on southbound I-5 at 44th Ave W and the onramp from 44th to southbound I-5 is now closed. All traffic is funneling through the HOV lane as we work to clear the lanes. pic.twitter.com/3crr51vFiU
