SUMNER, Wash. — All lanes of southbound state Route 167 have reopened after a semi-truck rolled over on the highway near state Route 410 in Sumner on Tuesday morning, according to transportation officials.
The driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital, according to the Washington State Patrol.
Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Tacoma tweeted that the collision involving a semi-truck happened just before 8:45 a.m.
Initially, all southbound lanes of SR 167 were fully blocked, the department tweeted. Several lanes reopened at about 10:15 a.m., but WSDOT had to close the road again shortly after due to cleanup efforts.
"This may take a while to clear," WSDOT Tacoma tweeted. "Avoid the area."
Washington State Patrol Trooper Robert Reyer said the rollover caused a four-mile backup approaching the SR 410 interchange. There were also backups on westbound SR 410 as a result of the collision, he said in a tweet.
City of Sumner officers and WSDOT Tacoma is at the scene of the collision.
