WASHOUGAL, Wash. (AP) -- Police in Washington say the bestselling author of "Fight Club," Chuck Palahniuk, sustained minor injuries after a semitrailer rolled over and crashed into his car.
Palahniuk told officers he had a sore neck, but he was not taken to a hospital after the crash near Washougal, Wash., a suburb of Portland, Ore.
Washington State Patrol officials say Palahniuk was parked in a driveway next to a state highway when the driver of a tractor-trailer lost control. The trailer tipped over, slid toward the car and struck the side. KGW-TV reports (http://bit.ly/GNCfxV ) that the car was a total loss.
The driver of the semitrailer was not injured and was cited for speeding.
