TACOMA – All lanes of I-5 were closed in Tacoma at State Route 16 after a semi-truck crashed into a Jersey barrier once again Tuesday morning. All lanes in both directions reopened more than four hours later.

State Patrol says the semi crash was the eighth in that spot since September.

Trooper Johnna Batiste said the semi was traveling south when the driver lost control on the wet highway about 3:30 am, and another driver reported seeing the semi driving at a high rate of speed.

The semi driver was cited for second-degree negligent driving. Batiste said speed, the wet road and inexperience were all factors in the crash. The truck driver who crashed had about 6 months experience.
