CLARK CO., WA – A pedestrian was killed in the collision that shut down southbound traffic on I-5 at 179th Street this morning, KOMO now reports.

This is an update to an earlier blog post.

The initial collision happened at about 3 a.m. this morning, and by 6:30 a.m. had backed up traffic for nearly 5 miles.

The circumstances of the fatal crash are not known at this time. However, we will update this blog as soon as we know more.

The affected area was cleared and all lanes were reopened by 7:25 a.m., although delays are expected to continue for some time given the severity of the backup.
