Man arrested after Federal Way crash sends woman to hospital, troopers say
A man was arrested on suspicion of vehicular assault early Sunday after a crash on state Route 18 east of Interstate 5 in Federal Way, according to the Washington State Patrol.
The 27-year-old Federal Way man was westbound on Route 18, approaching I-5, when he drifted out of his lane and hit another vehicle, causing both vehicles to roll, a State Patrol news release said.
The rolling vehicles hit another vehicle.
The Federal Way man, whose car ended up upside-down, wasn’t injured and booked into King County Jail, the release stated.
The 57-year-old Puyallup woman driving the second vehicle, which ended up on its side, was taken to Valley Medical Center in Auburn with a broken hand, Trooper Rick Johnson said.
The 36-year-old Tacoma man driving the third vehicle was not injured and able to drive from the crash scene.
Westbound Route 18 was blocked for four hours and 30 minutes as the State Patrol investigated the crash.
