Hazel Dell (WA) Fire crews with Clark County Fire District 6 this afternoon responded to a three car accident that involved a roll-over.
Fortunately, no one was reported seriously injured, although the driver of the overturned car did have to be extricated by firefighters. In total two passenger cars and one semi-trailer were involved in the crash.
The accident happened on I-5 South just south of the 78th Street exit shortly after 1 p.m.
Initially two lanes were closed as members of Engine 61, Squad 61 and Engine 62 worked to stabilize the scene, and traffic slowed to a crawl. Within a half hour one lane was re-opened and authorities think they'll have all lanes open shortly.
Washington State Patrol is investigating the cause of the accident.
