U.S. Highway 12 was closed for about four-and-a-half hours between Rochester and Grand Mound Monday afternoon following a three-vehicle crash.
One of the three drivers, identified by the Washington State Patrol as Anita K. Auld, 74, of Roy, was transported to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia for treatment of injuries sustained in the crash, which was reported just after 2:10 p.m. on April 15. No other injuries were reported.
Auld was reportedly driving a gray 2023 Toyota Camry westbound on U.S. Highway 12 when her vehicle crossed the centerline at milepost 43 and collided with an eastbound semi-truck driven by 47-year-old Norman J. Rex, of Centralia.
The semi then struck a gray 2023 Hyundai Sonata driven by Ginger L. Conway, 58, of Olympia, in the westbound lane.
The Camry and the Sonata came to rest in the westbound lanes, while the semi came to rest in a ditch on the right shoulder of the westbound lanes, according to the Washington State Patrol.
No drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash, the state patrol reported.
The roadway was closed for a total of four hours and 37 minutes.
