A 40-year-old Toledo man was transported to a hospital following a three-vehicle crash on southbound Interstate 5 near the Toutle River Rest Area in Cowlitz County early Thursday morning. 

A red 2002 Honda Accord driven by 22-year-old Sorenson M. Walker, of Toledo, reportedly struck the back of a green 2000 Jeep Cheroke driven by the 40-year-old while both vehicles were traveling southbound on I-5, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The Jeep came to rest in two of the southbound lanes while the Jeep lost control, rolled over the center median and came to rest in two of the northbound lanes, where it was struck by a northbound semi-truck.



The driver of the semi and the driver of the Honda were not injured.

Speed was the cause of the crash, according to the Washington State Patrol, which responded to the crash just after 4:10 a.m. on May 16.
