A deadly rollover crash and fire involving a semi-truck has closed both directions of Interstate 5 in Tacoma Tuesday morning.
A Washington State Department of Transportation camera with a timestamp of 4:46 a.m. showed the fiery aftermath near S 84th St.
The driver of the semi was killed in the crash, Washington State Patrol Trooper John Dattilo said.
The semi is on its side.
Dattilo said the semi-truck hit a barrier, and a light pole fell across all northbound lanes. Traffic is being diverted to off-ramps.
