A multiple-vehicle collision blocked most of the lanes of traffic on Interstate 405 in Bothell Friday morning.
The collision involving three cars and a semi-truck occurred on southbound I-405 just south of Northeast 195th Street, which blocked the toll lane and the right two general purpose lanes.
One lane of traffic was able to get by.
The Washington State Patrol and medics are on the scene.
According to WSDOT, by 8:45 a.m. the backup was 3 miles long. Drivers should find alternate routes, if possible.
By 9 a.m., the two left lanes had been reopened to traffic.
There were no major injuries.

The back-up from this collision is already at 3 miles. Seek alternate routes if you can. The left general purpose lane is the only lane open right now. https://t.co/WXM6tiIwT3 pic.twitter.com/XRIiQWycT7
