A rolled over semi-truck that was hauling 94,000 pounds of hay in Tacoma may cause some delays in the area Wednesday morning.

Washington State Patrol troopers are helping unload the large amounts of hay on I-5 northbound near state Route 16 before the semi can be returned rubber side down. The three left lanes are blocked. Drivers can expect congestion in the area, Washington State Department of Transportation said on X at 6:55 a.m.

There are no injuries and no other vehicles involved, WSP trooper John Dattilo reported on X.
