An apparent medical problem led to a three-vehicle, wrong-way crash Wednesday afternoon on Northeast 162nd Avenue near 18th Street in east Vancouver.

The crash was reported as a rollover around 3:20 p.m. It appeared to responding police and medical personnel that the causing vehicle had veered into oncoming traffic on Northeast 162nd Avenue, Clark County sheriff’s Sgt. Pat Johns said.

One driver, who investigators suspect had a medical crisis, was hospitalized in connection with that problem, Johns said. No one involved appeared to have been seriously injured in the crash, Johns said.
