A recreational vehicle crashed into a Washington State Department of Transportation truck on northbound Interstate 5 in Seattle Monday evening.

Two lanes closed near Seneca Street as crews worked to clear the incident. The driver of the RV was taken to Harborview Medical Center with minor injuries and then arrested for a DUI.

The WSDOT vehicle hit is a truck that responds to traffic incidents. The truck was responding to a disabled Suburu crash on Dearborn Street before it was hit.

The crash scene was cleared on the freeway by 5:25 p.m.
