A Longview woman was hospitalized after a medical problem caused her to sideswipe another car Wednesday morning on Interstate 5 near the Clark County Fairgrounds, according to the Washington State Patrol.
The State Patrol said Patricia A. Ross, 68, of Longview and Heidi G. Werner, 50, of Gig Harbor were driving separate vehicles south on I-5 when, around 10:40 a.m., Ross experienced a medical issue.
Her Toyota Corolla drifted from its lane and into Werner’s Chevrolet Cruze. Ross’ car went into the grass beside the roadway and into a cable barrier, the State Patrol said.
Ross was taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center for her injures. Werner was not seriously injured, State Patrol said. Both were wearing seat belts. Ross’ condition was not available.
