A Vancouver woman remains hospitalized after a rollover crash early this morning on Interstate 5 in the Salmon Creek area. Troopers believe alcohol was a factor.
Yolanda D. Hoffer, 32, was listed in satisfactory condition this morning at Southwest Washington Medical Center, according to a hospital spokesman.
The crash was reported to troopers at 4:20 a.m. Hoffer was driving north on I-5 when she took the Northeast 134th Street exit and lost control of her 2008 Ford Focus four-door, crashing into a light pole and several signs along the grassy median, according to a Washington State Patrol bulletin.
Near the end of the exit ramp, Hoffer's vehicle rolled and came to rest on its wheels.
Hoffer was taken to the hospital with minor lacerations; officials towed her Ford from the scene, according to the bulletin.

What a relief -- it's difficult to get through the day without a drunk driving accident being reported.
