Tacoma, WA (September 16, 2025) – A violent crash left at least one person with serious injuries on Tuesday evening, September 16, on northbound Interstate 5 near 54th Street in Tacoma.
The collision happened around 7:18 p.m. when two vehicles slammed into each other during heavy traffic. The impact crushed both cars and scattered debris across multiple lanes.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene. Firefighters worked under intense pressure to free the injured. Paramedics treated multiple people on the side of the interstate and rushed at least one victim to a nearby hospital for emergency care.
The crash brought traffic to a standstill for hours while investigators documented the wreckage and spoke with witnesses. Authorities continue to examine what caused the collision and whether factors like speeding, distraction, or reckless driving played a role.
We wish those injured a full and swift recovery.
