I-90 closed at Snoqualmie Pass due to collisions, stuck semis

SNOQUALMIE PASS, Wash. - Officials closed both directions of I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass after several cars crashed and semis became stuck in the wintry conditions.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) says several collisions, stretching from just west of the summit all the way to Easton, have forced them to close the freeway. Several semis have gotten stuck on the ascent to the summit, as well.

At 6:40 p.m., WSDOT announced eastbound I-90 has reopened west of the summit. Westbound I-90 remains closed.

Authorities are working on clearing the roads and making sure traffic can move safely again.

There is no estimated time for the freeway to fully reopen.
