FIFE, Wash. — A roadway in Fife closed for part of the morning after a semi-truck crashed into an abandoned hotel.
The Fife Police Department told KIRO 7 that the semi-truck was driving west on Pacific Highway through the intersection at Port of Tacoma Road when another semi-truck was headed south on Port of Tacoma Road and trying to turn onto the highway.
The first truck wasn’t able to slow down in time, so police say he grazed the other truck, overcorrected and drove through several lanes of traffic, hopped a curb and hit the abandoned hotel.
No other cars were hit.
The driver had minor injuries, but is okay.
Police say the second driver wasn’t hurt and had only minimal damage to his trailer.
Officers aren’t sure which truck had the red light and which one had the green light.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
⚠️WB lanes on Pacific Hwy at Port of Tacoma Road, are closed due to a collision. Fife Police, TFD and Fife Towing are currently on scene. Please avoid the area and seek alternate routes at this time. We will update when the roadway is back open. pic.twitter.com/UZU3MEib3f
