2 Injured in Vehicle Collision on Interstate 5 [Lewis County, WA]

Lewis County, WA (July 25, 2023) – At about 12:45 p.m. on Thursday, a 23-year-old male driver from Portland and his 23-year-old female passenger from Seattle were injured following a vehicle collision on Interstate 5.

Washington State Patrol said a 65-year-old Olympia man was northbound on the freeway approaching Napavine.

To his left were two people also driving north on the freeway. The Olympia man attempted to change into their lane and the other driver over corrected his steering, which resulted in the vehicle to roll several times.

The male driver from Portland and his female passenger were transported to Providence Centralia Hospital while the Olympia man was not injured in the accident.

Investigating officers said the cause of the collision was an improper lane change.

Injuries While On The Road

When driving, it is important to follow all driving laws and the conditions of the road. If you see any vehicle or driver that looks dangerous, keep your distance. If you see a vehicle weaving in and out of the lanes, following too closely, or traveling at a higher rate of speed, move over a few lanes and get out of their way.

Drive defensively to ensure the safety of surrounding vehicles, drivers, and pedestrians.

This is a powerful reminder to always pay close attention to drivers around you. Constantly keep a considerable distance from others just in case the harm is near.
