All lanes of I-5 were blocked over Skagit River late Tuesday morning after a semi-truck struck a car from behind.
According to Washington State Patrol Trooper Rocky Oliphant, the car was folded in half and the semi-truck came to rest on top of the car.
The accident was initially reported as a serious injury collision, but Oliphant later tweeted that the driver of the car sustained only minor injuries.
“There’s really not a word to describe this collision,” said Oliphant. “In my 14 year career, I have never seen anything like it.”
Both northbound and southbound lanes of I-5 have since reopened.
