Woman, 21, taken into custody after crash near Mud Bay Road
A 21-year-old Puyallup woman was arrested Sunday evening on suspicion of vehicular assault after a single-car crash on US 101 near Mud Bay Road in Thurston County, according to the Washington State Patrol.
About 8 p.m. Sunday, the woman’s 2004 Chevrolet Malibu was southbound on US 101, just south of state Route 8, when the vehicle left the road to the right, then veered left across both lanes and struck the cable barrier.
The vehicle finally stopped perpendicular to the highway and blocked traffic for more than two hours.
A 20-year-old female passenger from Bonney Lake was injured and taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia. The Puyallup driver and two other passengers were not hurt.
