A rollover collision on northbound I-5 in Seattle blocked three right lanes of the freeway late Monday morning. Five vehicles were involved in the incident.
By noon, one lane remained blocked while crews responded to the scene near Albro Place and Swift Avenue. Just before 1 p.m., the freeway was fully open to traffic again.
FINAL: All lanes are now open on NB I-5 just north of Swift Ave./Albro Pl. following earlier collision.

The Seattle Fire Department responded and requested two AMR units (ambulances) to transport other patients. Some were evaluated by medics and have non-life threatening injuries.
Crews had to remove the roof off of one vehicle to help one patient trapped inside. That person has been extracted.
Seattle Fire units are headed to the scene, reported as a five-vehicle collision. Expect delays, and follow @wsdot_traffic for updates on traffic. https://t.co/6nqt21i1u1
