The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) announced that Interstate 90 is closed 16 miles east of Ellensburg due to a multiple-car collision that Washington State Patrol says involves 30 vehicles.

There is no information about what caused the crash, but WSP Trooper Collin Cumaravel advises drivers to slow down and drive cautiously while driving in the Cascade passes, many of which still have snow on the ground.

WSDOT has no projected time for when the road will be reopened and is advising drivers to take a detour through local roads or to delay travel for the day.

Firefighters and medics from Grant County are responding to assist.

The Grant County Sheriff’s Office said drivers should expect westbound I-90 to be icy with possible fog.
