The man was taken to St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma, while the other driver, a 56-year-old Tacoma man, was not injured.
About 10:40 p.m. Saturday, the Olympia man was eastbound on the state Route 512 I-5 overpass when he was struck by the westbound Tacoma man. The road was closed for more than two hours.
Drugs or alcohol were thought to be a factor in the crash.
