Major collision south of the border causes delays between Seattle, B.C.

A collision just south of the border caused major delays for people travelling home from the States this holiday Monday.

All lanes of the I-5 northbound were blocked by a major crash around 236 Street near Arlington, Washington around 1:30 p.m.

While the collision was cleared around 4 p.m., the incident forced a backup longer than 10 kilometres to form, making it difficult for British Columbians trying to get home from cities like Seattle.

Travelers are being encouraged to take the SR-53 as an alternate route, or be patient as the congestion slowly clears.
