Oregon man, child hurt in rollover crash on U.S. 101 Sunday night
A 29-year-old Astoria, Oregon driver and his juvenile passenger were injured Sunday night in a rollover crash at the Thurston/Mason county line, according to Washington State Patrol.
Troopers say the Oregon man faces possible charges of driving under the influence, reckless endangerment and driving with a suspended license.
About 10:40 p.m. Sunday, the man was headed north on U.S. 101 at Kennedy Creek in a 2001 Ford Explorer. Troopers say the man drifted off the road to the right, where the SUV rolled and struck a tree, then came to a stop on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
Both the man and his passenger were taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia.
