Multi-Vehicle Crashes Block I-90, I-40 in Spokane, Bellevue

Multiple crashes have caused significant traffic disruptions on interstate highways in Spokane, Washington, and Nashville, Tennessee. On I-90 near the Maple Street on-ramp in Spokane, two separate crashes occurred: one early in the morning blocking two eastbound lanes and another involving a car and motorcycle fully blocking the on-ramp in the evening. Additionally, a crash involving a motorcyclist, a Spokane County Sheriff's deputy, and a hay bale blocked eastbound I-90 west of Spokane, leading to full road closure and detours. In Nashville, a multi-vehicle crash early Saturday morning closed the westbound lanes of I-40 near Bellevue, with no clear timeline for reopening or injury reports. Authorities have urged drivers in all affected areas to expect delays, yield to emergency vehicles, and use alternate routes where possible.
