BELLEVUE, Wash. - A semi-rollover collision on eastbound Interstate 90 near the connection to Interstate 405 in Bellevue has been cleared after causing significant traffic disruptions Wednesday afternoon.

Johnson said the driver had been safely removed from the vehicle and was expected to be okay.
He said around 3:45 p.m. Wednesday that an extended closure of the eastbound I-90 in the collector-distributor lanes to I-405 would be necessary to manage the crash scene.
Johnson alerted that the entire roadway from EB I-90 to I-405 would be temporarily closed to facilitate tow trucks in uprighting and removing the semi. The closure was estimated to last around one hour.
Just after 7 p.m., the Washington State Department of Transportation said that all lanes on the eastbound I-90 off-ramp to I-405 were back open, and the crash had been cleared.
Authorities have not yet released the cause of the semi rollover. Drivers in the area are advised to allow for extra travel time and to exercise caution as the cleanup continues.
