Multi-Vehicle Collision on Interstate 705 Injures 28-Year-Old Woman [Tacoma, WA]

Tacoma, WA (June 1, 2025) — Early Saturday morning, a 28-year-old Tacoma woman suffered injuries in a three-vehicle collision on Interstate 705 SB.

According to the Washington State Patrol, the crash occurred around 1:48 a.m. near milepost 1 as vehicles approached State Route 509. Investigators said the Tacoma woman initially left the roadway and struck a barrier before re-entering the freeway at a slow speed.

A 27-year-old Spanaway man then collided with her vehicle and subsequently left the roadway, striking a barrier. Moments later, a 48-year-old Tacoma man also crashed into the woman’s vehicle.

The vehicles came to rest across multiple lanes, prompting authorities to shut down the roadway for more than two hours. Emergency responders transported the injured woman to a hospital for treatment.

Investigators noted that drugs and alcohol may have been factors in the crash, though no DUI charges have been filed. The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
