SEATTLE — I-5 in both directions was affected in North Seattle after a car traveling southbound jumped the barrier and landed on the I-5 Expressway near SR 522.
The expressway was closed and it forced traffic to exit at Lake City Way.
WSP, in a corrected post, said the car was traveling southbound on I-5 when it went over the barrier and into the express lanes and not coming off an overpass.
Seattle Fire said they treated a 19-year-old man and woman and took them to Harborview Medical Center in Stable condition.
The crash caused traffic congestion for a few hours in both directions during the evening commute.
WSP said there were no major injuries and the road was reopened around 9:30 p.m.
#Correction The vehicle was traveling SB I-5 and went over the barrier into the express lanes, NOT from an overpass. Still checking on injuries and impairment possibility to determine where the investigation progresses.
