Northbound I-5 reopened near Mountlake Terrace after fatal crash
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, Wash. - Northbound I-5 has reoepened near Mountlake Terrace following a fatal crash.
Washington State Patrol is investigating the crash, and said a truck carrying a mattress lost it on I-5 near 220th Street SW around 6:35 a.m. The car reportedly pulled over, but then drove off.
