A five-car accident caused minor injuries and clogged traffic on state Highway 503 in Brush Prairie just after 12:30 p.m. Monday.
A truck and trailer was partially blocking a northbound lane while attempting to turn left onto Northeast 131st Street, Washington State Patrol said.
Four cars stopped behind the trailer, but a 2000 Ford F-250 driven by Trevor B. Hoefler, 20, of Amboy slammed into the last stopped car, causing a chain reaction of collisions in front of his car, state patrol said.
Brooke N. Jeffries, 18, of Battle Ground was driving a 1994 Hyundai Elantra that was rear-ended by Hoefler’s truck. She was transported to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center on Monday with injuries to both arms, a leg and her neck, WSP said. She was released later that day.
