Drove by this earlier today. Did not know why state patrol pulled driver over at time. Now I do. Ouch.....
Semitrailer driver arrested on I-5 in Fife for investigation of DUI, truck was hauling 100,000 pounds of concrete
A semitrailer driver was arrested today for investigation of DUI, after a commuter called 911 about 10 a.m. to report an erratic driver on northbound Interstate 5 at Berkeley Street Southwest, according to the State Patrol.
The man was pulled over shortly after the call on the freeway in Fife, just north of the Port of Tacoma, Trooper Guy Gill said.
Gill said the semi was hauling 100,000 pounds of concrete blocks, and that the drivers roadside breath test result was more than twice the legal limit, four times the legal limit for commercial drivers, which is .04 percent.
The truck was literally taking three lanes of I-5, Gill said. Were talking about a semi truck tractor trailer. The trailer was literally going into three different lanes.
