SMOKEY POINT — A semi truck trailer tipped over and dumped a large carnival ride onto the roadway just off I-5 Tuesday morning.
The mishap was reported around 10:30 a.m. at the Smokey Point rest stop exit off I-5.
The semi was pulling two trailers on a curve. The rear trailer tipped and rolled over on its side, Washington State Patrol trooper Mark Francis said.
The accident damaged the carnival ride known as “The Sizzler.”
The driver, who was not injured, is expected to be cited for driving too fast for conditions and for defective brakes, Francis said.
