Semi-truck rollover on SR 167 in Sumner causes back-up

The rollover initially blocked all southbound lanes, causing a four-mile backup approaching the SR 410 interchange.

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."
