Three people were injured in a collision on U.S. Highway 12 near Ethel caused by a vehicle making an illegal U-turn Sunday evening.
A green 2005 Honda Element driven by 26-year-old Jorge L. Jbocanegralopez reportedly started making an illegal U-turn from eastbound to westbound U.S. Highway 12 between Jackson Highway and Tucker Road when a black 2007 Toyota Camry driving eastbound struck the Element, according to Washington State Patrol (WSP).
WSP was dispatched to the crash just before 8:40 p.m. on Oct. 23.
Jbocanegralopez was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment. His two passengers, a 42-year-old Chehalis resident and a 33-year-old Chehalis resident, were transported to Arbor Health Hospital in Morton.
The driver of the Camry, an 18-year-old from Chehalis, was uninjured.
Drugs or alcohol were not involved, according to WSP.
