LIBERTY LAKE, Wash. — Eastbound lanes of I-90 near the Idaho Stateline, east of Liberty Lake, are back open. Earlier, a crash involving a semi-truck and several cars closed down all lanes during the morning commute.
Traffic on I-90 was backed up three miles for most of the morning, all the way back to N Barker Rd in Greenacres.
Washington State Patrol reported the crash involved a vehicle that rolled over, landing on its top, and another vehicle that was pinned underneath a semi-truck. Troopers have not shared details about injuries but we are told life flight was called to the scene.
Troopers set up a detour with drivers being routed off I-90 at the Liberty Lake/Harvard Rd. interchange to Appleway Ave. and back onto I-90 at the State Line interchange. The detour was also slow.

Traffic was also slow in the westbound direction nearly to the Idaho Stateline.
Washington State Patrol reports a multiple vehicle collision including one vehicle that rolled on its top and another vehicle pinned under a semi. Both eastbound lanes are shut down while fire and aid extricate the driver of the vehicle under the semi.
Sgt. Greg Riddell with the Washington State Patrol says the driver of the Dodge Calibur sustained minor injuries.
"The Dodge Calibur was forced under the semi-truck and at that point of impact and was drugged underneath the semi-truck for quite aways until the semi came to a complete stop," Riddell said.
