BELLINGHAM — A jackknifed semi-truck caused an hour-long backup on southbound Interstate 5 that backed up traffic more than a mile just south of Lakeway Drive on Wednesday, Dec. 28.

The truck lost control about 12:30 p.m. and ended up facing north in the southbound lanes. No other cars were involved in the crash, and there no injuries, according to early reports.

Drivers were advised to avoid the area. Crews had removed the truck and cleared the traffic by about 1:45 p.m.
