A Vancouver truck driver lost control of his vehicle, spilling giant pipes across the roadway and closing I-5 near Vancouver for hours.
Washington State Police
Pipes and an overturned semi-truck blocked several lanes of I-5 for two hours Sunday afternoon.
The driver was trying to merge onto Interstate 5 from the State Route 14 onramp when he rolled his truck and spilled a load of fiberglass pipe.
The driver, Robert Worrell, 47, was taken to a local hospital by ambulance with minor injuries.
The ramp from westbound State Route 14 to I-5 and several lanes of I-5 south were closed for about two hours while crews worked to clear the scene. The cause of the crash is still being investigated.
