SEATTLE — All lanes of southbound Interstate 5 were blocked in downtown Seattle after an overnight crash that hurt three people Thursday.
The lanes reopened at around 5:20 a.m.
The one-car crash happened in the HOV lane just north of Interstate 90 at 2:40 a.m. Thursday.
Video from a WSDOT camera showed a car with a lot of front-end damage facing the wrong direction against a barrier.
Troopers said four people were in the car. Three of them were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver was not hurt and was arrested for investigation of DUI and vehicular assault.
Southbound traffic was diverted to the collector-distributor lanes.
The opening of the express lanes was delayed. They usually open to southbound traffic at 5 a.m. At 5:24 a.m., WSDOT said the lanes would open shortly.
