SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A Keizer woman was cited for failing to drive in a single lane after she rear-ended a Marion County sheriff’s patrol car on the shoulder of Interstate 5 near Salem.

Oregon State Police say both drivers were wearing seat belts Wednesday and there were no serious injuries.

The deputy was parked with emergency lights activated following a traffic stop when the car driven by the 25-year-old woman swerved to avoid a slowing car in front of her and crashed into the patrol car.
