On Saturday, injuries were reported after a head-on crash on U.S. 2.
According to the reports, a car hit the right barrier on a bridge near 178th Street NE, then veered into oncoming traffic and crashed head-on into the semi. Another vehicle was also damaged as a result of the wreck. One of the vehicles got engulfed into flames on the bridge, just west of Zeke’s Drive In.
Luckily, the three-vehicle pile-up did not led to any serious injuries and all the victims involved refused to be transported to the hospital. The incident led to the closure of traffic in both directions on U.S. 2 for hours, east of Gold Bar; however, the road was back open at about 3:30 p.m. Officers estimated that about 50 gallons of diesel leaked from the semi-truck.
An investigation continues.
