A Vancouver man and three La Center residents were injured Sunday in a single-car crash off Interstate 5 in Cowlitz County, according to the Washington State Patrol.
The crash occurred at 5:34 p.m. when Jordan J. Green, 33, began to have a medical emergency while driving his 2018 GMC Yukon south on Interstate 5 at Exit 46, according to a State Patrol bulletin.
The bulletin said Green’s SUV passed through a stop sign at the top of the ramp and onto the southbound onramp to Interstate 5 before going off the right side of the road and rolling several times before going airborne and landing upside-down on a 2003 Dodge Ram pickup and 1984 Hale horse trailer parked at 4930 Pleasant Hill Road.

Wyoming’s coronavirus-related hospitalizations have continued to decline since hitting a peak of more than 230 in late November, with only 84 people hospitalized as of Thursday.
According to the Wyoming hospital tracker, this was a slight increase over the 81 patients hospitalized as of Wednesday, but still is a decline from the beginning of the week, when around 88 patients were hospitalized due to the virus.
Natrona County Public Health Officer Dr. Mark Dowell credited the decrease in hospitalizations to the use of face masks and social distancing.
“We’re maintaining low levels in the hospital, at around 11 to 15 patients at any one time,” Dowell said. “[This] has incredibly improved due to the community masking up and doing their job. For that, I applaud you completely.”
