One person is dead and four others were hurt when a semi-truck carrying frozen fish collided with an SUV on I-5 near SeaTac late Saturday night. Washington State troopers said the 42-year-old woman killed in the rollover crash was not wearing a seat belt. Troopers said an SUV carrying three people crossed the center line while traveling southbound near 200th Street exit and collided with the semi. The semi then rolled over on its side, taking the SUV and its passengers with it. One of the passengers in the SUV died at the scene and the driver was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition, while the third person in the SUV is believed to have non-life threatening injuries, troopers said. The driver and passenger in the semi truck were also hospitalized but are expected to survive. The semi-truck was loaded with 80,000 pounds of frozen fish. The cleanup and investigation took 12 hours to complete, and required southbound and northbound lane closures as officials worked to keep the semi from rolling off an embankment into the northbound lanes below.
