A crash between a car and a semi closed both directions of SR 169, or the Maple Valley Highway, near Renton for hours Wednesday.

Video from Chopper 7 showed a car partially-wedged under the jackknifed tractor-trailer after the crash occurred at about 3:40 p.m.

A hazardous waste crew responded the scene cleaning up fluid spilled from the crashed truck.

The truck stretched across all lanes of the highway.

By 6:30 p.m., only one lane in each direction had reopened.

It is not known if anyone was injured.
