All lanes of southbound I-5 are blocked in the Arlington area after a fatal crash Wednesday morning.

Trooper Jacob Kennett said the crash near 228th Street involved a box truck and a construction attenuator truck.

The freeway is closed at 236th Street Northeast.

Though the crash is still being investigated, it appears the construction attenuator truck was setting up a lane closure for construction happening south of the crash scene when the collision occurred, Kennett said.

Drivers should avoid the area.
