5-car crash slows traffic Eastbound on I-182

Trooper Chris Thorson of the Washington State Patrol reported Wednesday morning a 5-car crash eastbound on Interstate 182 had snarled traffic. The crash reportedly occurred just after 8AM.

The accident occurred near the 4th Ave. Exit into Pasco. No word if any injuries, or what triggered the accident.

WSP also reported another crash, also Eastbound, about two miles west of where this incident occurred. However, that accident was not related to the first. It also slowed traffic.

The Benton County Sheriff's Department also reported WSP is working on another accident that occurred much earlier in the morning on SR 14 near Plymouth Road. That location is about a half-mile west of the I-82-SR 14 interchange just before you cross the Columbia River into Oregon. No injuries were reported in that crash, which is pictured below.
