SR 18 now open in both directions

8:00 AM

Both directions of State Route 18 are blocked after a major crash near the Tiger Mountain Summit.

The Washington State Patrol said three semi-trucks and two cars were involved, and multiple injuries have been reported. Eastbound SR 18 is blocked at Issaquah-Hobart Road, and westbound SR 18 is blocked at Interstate 90.

Eastside Fire & Rescue first tweeted about the closure at 7:46 a.m.

Because there is debris in the road, the closure is expected to last for hours.

Fire officials said first responders are having a difficult time getting to the scene because of the traffic.

KIRO 7 contributed to this report.
