A pickup truck, big rig and jeep were involved in a collision that snarled Thursday evening traffic on Interstate 5 northbound, north of the Battle Ground exit. Allen J. Moditz, 51, of Ridgefield was driving a jeep north on the interstate when he attempted to pass a pickup truck that was driving in the left lane, said Trooper Will Finn, spokesman for the Washington State Patrol. Both cars went to change lanes at the same time. The big rig, which was hauling milk, got involved and pushed the jeep through the cable barrier off the side of the road.
