PORT TOWNSEND — Both lanes were re-opened by noon after a morning wreck blocked the roadway near its junction with U.S. Highway 101.

Both lanes were blocked after the 10:50 a.m. wreck. One lane was re-opened by 11:20 a.m., permitting alternating traffic, the state Department of Transportation said.

No one was hurt in the wreck, said Trooper Krista Hedstrom, State Patrol spokeswoman.

A car driven by Jesse B. Wallace of Quilcene left the roadway and rolled onto its side into a ditch, Hedstrom said.

She did know why the car left the road.
