The backup spanned 11 miles at the Boeing freeway at State Route 526 in Everett, for much of the morning. Washington State Patrol Trooper Kelsey Harding said traffic was getting by in the far-left HOV lane, as the three right lanes were all blocked.
At 9:01 a.m., Harding said the roadway was fully reopened. Harding first posted about the fatal collision at 5:29 a.m.
There were lengthy backups on SR 9, SR 204, and US 2 as well.
According to WSP, the pedestrian "left the" overpass and "came to rest between lanes" 1 and 2 of southbound I-5. The pedestrian, a 52-year-old man from Mukilteo, was "struck by multiple vehicles," WSP said.

Investigators said the driver drove away at a high speed and troopers lost sight of the vehicle. The driver was seen driving well over 100 mph when it hit a light pole and rolled. Troopers were not actively pursuing the vehicle at the time of the crash.
WSP said the driver was transported to Harborview Medical Center and the passenger was pronounced dead at the scene.
