Multiple people injured in Interstate 5 wreck

A woman and child were injured in a wreck Tuesday afternoon on northbound Interstate 5 just south of state Route 512, Washington State Patrol Trooper Todd Bartolac said.

The woman and child were in the backseat of a car that was rear-ended by a pickup truck. The woman was unconscious in the back seat, while the child sustained lacerations from broken glass. They were taken to an area hospital.

The accident was at 4:36 p.m. north of Milepost 126, according to the Washington state Department of Transportation, and two lanes were closed for emergency response, backing up rush-hour traffic.
