BELLINGHAM, Wash. – A crash on I-5 south of Bellingham Sunday night left a pick-up truck suspended in a tree and sent three people to the hospital.
State Trooper Heather Axtman says a car and the pick-up were in the northbound lanes near Old Fairhaven Parkway at about 7:30 when the car lost control and collided with the truck.
The truck crashed through the median barrier and ended up in a tree.
One person was able to get out while two other people in the truck had to be extracted.
The three in the truck were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries while two people in the car weren’t hurt.
Both directions of the freeway were blocked for several hours.
