SNOQUALMIE, Wash. - A semi-truck fell off the roadway along a stretch of State Route 18 on Tuesday morning, snarling traffic as crews worked to get the vehicle out of a ditch.
The driver was hauling 80,000 pounds of potatoes in eastern King County near the Tiger Mountain State Forest around Milepost 24 when they veered off the road.
What's next:
A tow truck was promptly scheduled to come pull the truck out, and local law enforcement warned drivers this would require a closure of the westbound lanes upon its arrival.
Trooper Rick Johnson with the Washington State Patrol told motorists to expect delays as the cleanup process got underway around 9:30 a.m. on Apr. 7.
