A large collision involving a school bus, a car hauler, and four other vehicles blocked all lanes of northbound I-5 near Martin Way E. in Lacey on Thursday.

Trooper Watts noted that the cause of the collision seemed to be from “speeds too fast for conditions.” The semi truck was following too closely behind the school bus, lost control, and jackknifed in the middle of NB I-5.

Three individuals involved in the collision were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

At approximately 7:45 a.m., WSP Trooper Kameron Watts confirmed that no students were on the bus.

At approximately 10 a.m., the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) announced that all northbound I-5 lanes were reopened.
