A Washougal woman was injured Friday morning in a rollover crash on state Highway 14 in Vancouver.

Rebecca Alling, 33, was westbound on the highway in her Ford Taurus around 11:25 a.m. when a vehicle merged into the lane she was in in front of her and abruptly braked, according to the Washington State Patrol. Alling slammed on her brakes and swerved to avoid a collision, which overturned her Taurus east of Interstate 205.

The other vehicle continued driving and possibly didn’t know a crash had occurred, said Trooper Will Finn.

“For whatever reason, they were trying to use the same lane at the same time,” he said.

Alling’s Taurus was totalled and towed from the crash site. She had some minor injuries and abrasions. She was taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center’s emergency room and later discharged from the hospital.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation by the WSP.
