An overturned military vehicle blocked most lanes of northbound Interstate 5 near Kent and Federal Way late Wednesday morning, April 10.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred at about 11:30 a.m. near South 272nd Street, according to the Washington State Patrol.<\/p>\n

“A military vehicle is on its side,” Trooper Rick Johnson posted on X at about 12:53 p.m.. “No serious injuries but multiple lanes blocked.”<\/p>\n

Johnson said tows are on the way but it will take some time to clean up and advised alternate routes. The crash has led to traffic backups on I-5 as well as alternate routes on State Route 512 and State Route 167.<\/p>\n

The HOV and left lane are the only open lanes, as of early Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The military vehicle is from Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Tacoma. The military often has convoys to Yakima for training.<\/p>\n

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
