VANCOUVER, WA (December 9, 2019) – A 22-year-old woman sustained injuries in a car accident on 5 Freeway on December 5.
 
The incident happened on the northbound span of the 5 Freeway Bridge around 4:55 a.m. As a result, the collision shut down two lanes and part of a third, Washington State Patrol Trooper Will Finn revealed.
 
22-year-old Andrea S. Poggio went to Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center for treatment of injuries.
