The injured driver was taken to a local hospital. Occupants of the other two vehicles suffered minor injuries, according to a news release from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
Emergency responders were dispatched at 11:08 a.m. to the 800 block of Southeast Washougal River Road for a three-vehicle crash. The road was closed in both directions before Milepost 3 for about 2½ hours for the crash investigation, according to the sheriff’s office.
