1 flown to hospital after 3-vehicle wreck on U.S. 12 in Thurston County
A man from Chehalis and two women from Oakville were injured Monday evening in a three-vehicle wreck in south Thurston County, according to the Washington State Patrol.
The 34-year-old man’s injuries were serious enough that he was flown to Tacoma General Hospital, according to the State Patrol. The two women, ages 61 and 28, were injured, but were released at the scene.
About 6 p.m. Monday, the 28-year-old woman was headed west on U.S. 12 at Forstrom Road. Troopers say the woman attempted to pass the 61-year-old driver, then crashed into the eastbound Chehalis man.
The man’s vehicle also was struck by the 61-year-old driver’s vehicle, according to the State Patrol.
The highway was blocked for nearly four hours.
