The Washington State Patrol arrested a 25-year-old Puyallup man for investigation of vehicular assault after he reportedly collided with another vehicle and injured two people after passing on the shoulder of Interstate 5 near Kent.<\/p>\n
Both vehicles were traveling southbound in lane one of six lanes at about 12:27 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 20 near South 200th Street in SeaTac, according to the State Patrol.<\/p>\n
The Puyallup man, driving a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, reportedly passed another vehicle by using the shoulder and reentered lane one. When he attempted to change into lane two, he collided with a 2012 Toyota Prius, according to the State Patrol.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Prius lost control, rolled onto the right shoulder and the car came to rest on its top in the ditch. The Jeep came to a rest in lane four. The State Patrol closed the freeway for four hours and 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
Paramedics transported the driver and a passenger in the Prius to Valley Medical Center in Renton. The driver of the Jeep and a passenger suffered minor injuries but did not go to a hospital.<\/p>\n
Drugs or alcohol were involved, according to the State Patrol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
