ISSAQUAH, Wash. — All lanes of State Route 18 (SR 18) between the Interstate 90 interchange and Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast have reopened Wednesday morning after multiple collisions and a vehicle fire, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
Both directions of the roadway were blocked for about three and a half hours.
Washington State Trooper Rick Johnson tweeted just after 6:30 a.m. Thursday that a vehicle caught fire in the eastbound lanes just east of Issaquah/Hobart. The collision was considered minor, Johnson said.
Another collision happened when a pickup traveling westbound on SR 18 crossed into the eastbound lanes. The driver crashed into a semi-truck, which rolled on its side.
Johnson said the driver of the pickup truck is in custody for suspected DUI.
