An accident involving seven cars closed Interstate 5 Wednesday night when a driver lost control of his car in a thick fog.
Tyler Baker, 22, was driving south of Bellingham at 10 PM when his car became completely surrounded by a fog, according to Bellingham police. The car spun out of control and was demolished. Including Baker, no one was injured.
"It was a total mess -- the worst accident I've seen this year," said Bellingham Police spokesman Bill Richards. "It's a miracle no one was injured."
Baker was arrested when he failed a Breathalyzer test at the scene of the accident, according to Richards.
The wreckage scattered over a mile and closed Interstate 5 for six hours.
