VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — The Washington State Patrol says an SUV driver who veered off Interstate 5 and collided with a parked car told a trooper he might have been taking a sip of coffee.
Trooper Jason Gainer reports there was coffee all over the inside of the SUV’s dashboard.
Both vehicles were destroyed in the Tuesday morning crash. Combined with thick fog, it caused a backup for southbound rush-hour commuters.
The Columbian reports that 50-year-old Ronald L. Belland of Vancouver was treated at a local hospital for a separated shoulder, a head cut and knee injuries.
