A person lay dead in the far right northbound lane of I-5 between the Pike and Pine overpasses Friday night as investigators documented the scene and traffic trickled by. As of midnight, there was no official word on what specifically had occurred but Washington State Patrol said a person had been hit by a car on the freeway.

The initial emergency dispatch for the incident came in at 11:17p.

Last month, CHS reported on an effort to clean up homeless camps under the overpasses and some of the accidents that had occurred near the camps including falls from the high walls above the freeway.
