“It will be an extended amount of time to get this cleared,” WSP Trooper Rick Johnson said on X.

WSP suspects the driver was impaired, as of this reporting.

The truck was carrying a load of toilet paper through Tiger Mountain.

The best alternate routes will be to take the Maple Valley Highway and get on Interstate 405 (I-405) or use Issaquah Hobart Road.
