Two teens were injured Friday night in Lewis County when the 16-year-old driver rolled a Honda Accord multiple times, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The driver, who faces a vehicular assault charge, was taken to Providence Centralia Hospital. His 13-year-old passenger was hurt and taken to Tacoma General Hospital.

About 8:30 p.m. Friday, the driver was headed north on state Route 507, north of Centralia, near Big Hanaford Road, according to State Patrol.

Troopers say the driver was going too fast for a curve, drove off the road to the right and rolled the Accord multiple times.
