Abraham M. Peterson, 24, of Monroe was taken by AMR Northwest ambulance to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, treated and released later Thursday, a nursing supervisor said.
About 11:45 a.m., Peterson was driving a 2011 Volvo tractor towing a 2011 Wabash trailer when he took the curve too fast, according to a bulletin from the Washington State Patrol.
