Both directions of US 2 remain closed west of Monroe following a police chase and possible crash Tuesday morning.
At 6:44 a.m., the Washington State Department of Transportation said in a news release that the highway was completely closed in both directions west of Monroe due to an “incident.” Emergency services were on site, as well as a tow truck.
We reached out to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, but the spokesperson said only that the highway between Roosevelt Road and Westwick Road was closed for police investigation and that more information would be released as it became available.
However, a Washington State Patrol Trooper told us that officers chased a vehicle, stopped it and arrested a few people. He had no further information.
As of 9:42 a.m., both directions of the highway remain closed.
We are working to get more information.
