A multi-car collision that left multiple vehicles overturned on Interstate 5 (I-5) North at State Route 104 Thursday afternoon has been cleared, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) , formerly known as Twitter.

Earlier, the agency “traffic (was) backed up almost 5 miles” and said people should expect delays.

The collision blocked multiple lanes in Shoreline near the border of Mountlake Terrace. Fire, State Patrol, Shoreline Police and Incident Response were on the scene.
