Unsecured Load On I-90 In Seattle Causes Pileup


Posted on Jul 23, 2009

Once again, an unsecured load on a major Washington State road has lead to a multiple car accident as well as a number of injuries.

In the westbound lanes of I-90 near the floating bridge over Lake Washington on Monday, an unsecured load left a black ten gallon bucket in the center of the road around 3:30 in the afternoon. When a car swerved to miss the bucket, it caused a chain reaction crash involving four other cars and a tractor trailer. A pickup truck involved in the multiple vehicle car crash spilled an estimated 20 gallons of paint during the collision, splattering the roadway and causing further damaged to the other cars involved.

One pickup truck landed on top of a car, trapping several drivers and passengers inside. The car accident victims were saved by Mercer Island and Seattle fire departments.

Six car accident victims were transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, though no one suffered life-threatening car accident injuries according to the Washington State Patrol.

Two westbound lanes of I-90 were closed for several hours after the crash, affecting rush hour traffic and backing cars back into Bellevue, Washington.

Earlier this year, two different accidents involving unsecured loads on I-5 caused two separate car accidents. In one case, a steel ramp fell off of a big rig and into the road, causing damage to dozens of cars and several minor injuries near Ship Canal Bridge. In another case on I-5, a steel rod fell off of a truck and flew into the windshield of a man driving behind the tractor-trailer.
