BONNEY LAKE, WA — State Route 410 heading westbound has been reopened to traffic after a hit-and-run crash midday Tuesday.

For several hours the roadway was fully closed to drivers just east of Myers Road East in Bonney Lake.

According to Washington State Patrol, the closure was caused by a two-car hit and run accident, in which one car pushed another off the road and into a power pole. The crash broke the pole, causing power lines to drape onto the roadway.
