A recent Yakima accident has raised concerns for motorists across Central Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) reports a semi-truck crash that led to significant damage on the Yakima River Bridge along Westbound I-82, causing an I-82 closure and creating a fuel spill hazard. If you find yourself dealing with injuries or property damage from a truck accident caused by someone else’s negligence, the experienced attorneys at Blanford Law are here to help with your personal injury claim.


The Impact of the I-82 Closure

The Westbound I-82 closure near Yakima affects both local drivers and through traffic headed toward Seattle or Ellensburg. Due to the semi-truck crash, authorities had to reroute vehicles at Exit 31 onto WB US 12. Inspections are underway to evaluate the damage to the Yakima River Bridge, and crews are managing the fuel spill cleanup. These necessary steps have caused travel delays, potentially lasting into the afternoon or longer.
