According to Vancouver police, the car crashed into a brick wall at about 1 a.m. on the 3100 block of Northwest Lower River Road .

The vehicle was traveling southeast, headed toward the Port of Vancouver, when it came out of a curve and left the roadway.

The vehicle struck a low brick wall near the entrance to the port’s administration building. The crash caused significant damage to the vehicle. The driver was pinned inside the car and had to be extracted.

All three occupants were transported to Southwest Washington Medical Center.
