Seattle, WA (January 17, 2026) – A three-car rollover crash on northbound I-5 just south of Madison Street caused injuries and major traffic disruption during the evening of January 16. The incident was reported around 5:44 p.m. and led to a significant emergency response.
Initial dispatch audio indicated that at least one person was injured in the collision, which involved multiple vehicles and resulted in one or more rolling over. The crash occurred in the left lane, requiring authorities to close off that portion of the roadway while emergency crews worked at the scene.
Medics were called to provide treatment to the injured, though officials have not yet confirmed the number of patients or the severity of injuries sustained. Wreckage from the crash was cleared after a response period, and traffic remained slow-moving through the area into the evening hours.
Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash. We send our best wishes to those injured and hope for their full recovery.
