Driver injured and facing 2nd DUI charge after I-5 rollover crash

TACOMA, WA – A driver was injured and is facing drunk driving charges after crashing their vehicle on I-5 in Tacoma last night, according to Trooper Robert Reyer with the Washington State Patrol.

Last night – The driver of this vehicle hit a concrete barrier on South I-5 @ S 56th St., rolled it, was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries, AND got arrested for DUI. Again – this ended up being more dangerous and expensive than catching a ride .. #MakeGoodChoices pic.twitter.com/6n3AcMJw7u
