Fire officials said logs from one logging truck went through the cab of another logging truck.

Two lanes on I-5 were closed for about three hours. Both trucks were removed by 2 p.m. and all lanes were reopened shortly thereafter. Backups stretched for miles.

One truck driver was transported to the hospital in serious but stable condition, fire officials said.

No other injuries were reported.

The Washington State Patrol is investigating.
