MARYSVILLE, Wash. (AP) — A collision involving two semi-trucks and two cars injured two people and blocked the northbound lanes of I-5 from 10 p.m. Thursday to about 4 a.m. Friday near Marysville.

Rescuers had to pull one truck driver from the wreckage. He was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and is expected to survive.

The Washington State Patrol says the other truck driver was treated at a hospital in Everett.

The patrol says one truck failed to slow down in traffic and rear-ended the other. The crash forced the truck into two cars. No one else was injured.

Both trucks were totaled.

KIRO-TV reports one of the trucks carried tomatoes that spilled along the side of the freeway.
