State Route 18 near the Raging River bridge was fully blocked Tuesday morning after a truck full of eggs crashed onto the roadway, according to the Washington State Patrol.
Just after 4 a.m., troopers responded to the crash just west of Interstate 90.
Trooper Rick Johnson said there was a minor injury.

Drivers should use alternate routes, as there are lots of eggs to clean up and it’s eggs-hausting work.
According to WSDOT, by 8:15 a.m., the eastbound backup was near two miles long.

Morning. This messy, complicated scene continues to fully block SR 18. Crews are working as fast as they safely can to clear it but plan to avoid the area if you can and follow @wsdot_traffic and @wspd2pio for updates. https://t.co/aErXO24b2k

I know this isn't eggs-actly what you had in mind for your morning commute however here's another view of the clean up our crews are working on.
The eastbound backup is almost two miles. Continue to seek alternate routes. https://t.co/y28V3Qha9E pic.twitter.com/nixYoTxdeR
