Police and Fire are currently responding to a three-vehicle collision in the 4600 block of Island Crest Way. All NB traffic on Island Crest Way is currently stopped while Police and Fire attend to the occupants of the vehicles. Tows have been requested.
Another collision today has caused long backups on eastbound I-90 even though the scene is clear. Please be patient and drive safely. Follow @wsdot_traffic for updates.
CLEAR: This incident on eastbound I-90 in the Mercer Island tunnel has cleared. All lanes are open.
However, traffic backup is over 3 miles, so expect delays as traffic moves through the area. This is from the I-90 bridge just west of the incident.
The backup from the crash on WB I-90 west of the #MercerIsland Tunnel is now about 3 miles long.
This likely willbe a lengthy closure, so please use alternate routes.
UPDATE: On the EB I-90 off-ramp to I-405 in #Bellevue, the collision is still partially blocking the ramp. Police, Fire, and the Incident Response Team are on scene.
This could take a while, so expect long delays and drive with caution.
