2 wrecks slow traffic on southbound U.S. 101 in Olympia Monday morning

Traffic on southbound U.S. 101 in Olympia was slowed Monday morning by two separate wrecks, according to the Washington State Patrol.

About 10 a.m., a semi-trailer, which was headed south toward northbound I-5, jack-knifed and came to a stop, said Trooper Ryan Burke.

That triggered a second wreck in which a vehicle drove into a barrier, he said.

Neither crash resulted in injuries, Burke said.

Traffic was passing through the area on a partial lane opening or on the shoulder, he said.
