A three-vehicle crash on state Highway 502 Friday night sent one man to the hospital.

The crash occurred at 10:30 p.m. Friday at the intersection of Highway 502 and Northeast 50th Avenue, about two miles west of Battle Ground city limits.

Vancouver resident Cynthia Lindberg, 53, was driving a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe west on the highway. Battle Ground resident Bruce Colby, 50, was driving behind Lindberg in a 2003 Chrysler Voyager minivan.

When Lindberg slowed to make a left turn, Colby slowed and was rear-ended by a 2005 Toyota pickup driven by Alexander Tea, 19, of Vancouver, according to the Washington State Patrol. The impact pushed the minivan into the Tahoe.

Colby was transported to Southwest Washington Medical Center with a possible foot injury, according to WSP. He was not a patient at the hospital Saturday night, according to a hospital spokeswoman.

Tea was cited for driving at speeds too fast for the conditions.
