A crash, that was previously blocking all lanes, is now only blocking the HOV lane on I-5 south in Seattle, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)

The collision is at Dearborn Street at milepost 165.

Traffic is going by in all lanes except the HOV while crews clean debris. Drivers can expect a roughly one-hour backup.

The Washington State Patrol (WSP) and incident response teams are at the scene.

“Drivers can also use the SB I-5/I-90 collector/distributor. Expect delays.” WSDOT stated.
