Two lanes heading north and one lane heading south are blocked in both directions on Interstate-5 (I-5) in South Tacoma near 38th due to a jack-knifed semi-truck.

Washington State Patrol (WSP) is on the scene as crews try to clear the highway. No injuries have been reported.

“Thankfully no injuries, but traffic will be impacted for an extended period while we tow the truck and get the barrier fixed!” WSP trooper John Dattilo wrote on X.

Traffic is delayed by approximately three miles in both directions.
