Overturned trailer spills fish onto I-5 near Arlington, closing lanes

ARLINGTON — Well, that must stink.

Just before 8 a.m. Thursday, a semi truck struck the guardrail, causing its attached trailer to roll over on I-5 north just south of Arlington, according to Washington State Patrol. The truck was transporting fish. When the trailer rolled over, the fish spilled over about 40 yards of the freeway, trooper Kelsey Harding said.

The crash blocked all lanes, forcing drivers going north during the morning rush hour to use the left shoulder. There was no estimated time for reopening the lanes.

The semi driver was not injured, Harding said. “The fish did not make it though, unfortunately,” she said.

Truck driver misjudged his speed at the entrance to the Turnpike from the Parkway and overturned in the grass between the two routes.

That section smelled like farts for 3 months.
