Westbound I-82 reopened Monday morning after a jackknifed semi-truck with a trailer blocked the highway, Washington State Patrol (WSP) stated.
The truck was turned sideways and blocked all westbound lanes except the shoulder at milepost 7 on I-82. A tow truck was sent to the scene to clear the roadway.
