According to Washington State Patrol Trooper Kelsey Harding, shortly before 6:30 p.m. Monday, a semi-truck went off the road on SR 20 just east of SR 9.

Harding told KIRO 7 there is no estimate for how long the road will need to be closed, but said that the process for getting a semi-truck back on the road can take a much longer time than a typical car tow.
