Traffic reporter Tracy Taylor reported seeing at least eight vehicles with flat tires on northbound 167, southbound I-405, and northbound I-5 near Boeing Access Road.

The Washington State Patrol says at least five vehicles had tire damage.

However, units from the Washington State Department of Transportation were unable to find anything considered to be a hazard.

A spokesperson for the Washington State Patrol says they received reports of some type of debris. It may have been thrown off the roadways.

Here’s a video of several vehicles pulled over on the side of the road.
