All lanes of northbound I-5 were shut down through Shoreline by a crash caused by a pickup with faulty brakes pulling a trailer, according to the State Patrol.
A six-vehicle crash that sent one person to the hospital and snarled traffic on northbound Interstate 5 through Shoreline on Thursday afternoon was caused by a pickup with faulty brakes pulling a camping trailer, according to the State Patrol.
All lanes of the freeway were shut down at about 3 p.m. near Northeast 175th Street. Traffic quickly backed up nearly six miles to Seattle's Ravenna neighborhood, according to the state Department of Transportation.
A woman, a passenger in the pickup, was hospitalized with serious injuries, State Patrol spokesman Cliff Pratt said. No one else was seriously hurt.
The chain-reaction crash resulted when the pickup, from British Columbia, failed to stop, Pratt said.
The freeway was reopened at about 5 p.m.
