Renton, WA (June 27, 2025) — A multi-vehicle crash involving a semi-truck caused significant traffic delays and left several people injured early Wednesday morning, June 25, on southbound Interstate 405 in Renton.
The collision, which involved multiple passenger vehicles and a semi-truck, occurred during the early morning commute, prompting a large emergency response. For several hours, only one lane remained open as crews worked to assist the injured, assess the scene, and clear the wreckage. All lanes were reopened around 6:30 a.m.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the number of people injured or the severity of their injuries, but medics were seen providing on-site treatment and transporting victims to nearby hospitals for further care.
The cause of the crash is under investigation by the Washington State Patrol. Officials have not said whether speed, impairment, or driver error played a role in the incident. This crash is a stark reminder of the dangers posed by high-speed collisions involving large commercial vehicles.
Law enforcement is investigating the incident.
We extend our thoughts to all those injured and hope for their full recovery.
Semi-truck accidents are among the most dangerous collisions on U.S. roadways, and Renton sees its fair share of them—especially along major routes like I-405 and I-5. Across the country, tens of thousands of crashes happen every day, and large commercial vehicles are frequently involved in the most serious incidents. Tragically, over 100 lives are lost daily nationwide due to traffic collisions, and more than 7,500 people are injured.
In Washington State alone, more than 100,000 traffic accidents occur each year, with semi-truck crashes often leading to catastrophic injuries or fatalities due to the massive size and weight of these vehicles. Many of these crashes are the result of negligent driver behavior—like distracted driving, fatigue, speeding, or impairment.
When a semi-truck collides with a smaller vehicle, the results can be devastating. Victims may face a long road to recovery, including physical pain, emotional trauma, and major financial burdens. Common damages after a semi-truck crash include:
