A crash occurred in the early commuting hours of Wednesday on northbound I-5 just south of the I-90 interchange.

The right three lanes were blocked off due to the crash, but have since reopened, as of 6:45 a.m.

“Emergency responders are on scene,” the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) stated at 6:10 a.m. Wednesday. “Expect delays in the area.”

“There is a 30-minute delay behind this crash on I-90,” KIRO traffic reporter Chris Sullivan stated on X.
