A 70-year-old Longview man was hospitalized after a deer caused a two-vehicle crash yesterday evening on southbound Interstate 5 west of Toledo.
Troopers and aid were called about 6:10 p.m. to the scene near milepost 60. William G. Bollie’s 2008 Acura MDX was described as totaled.
The Washington State Patrol reported a Chevrolet pickup truck driven by a Kent man struck the deer and then collided with the Bollie’s vehicle, which then hit the concrete barrier.
Bollie was taken by ambulance to St. John Medical Center in Longview with head and neck pain, according to the state patrol. He was treated and has been released, the hospital said this morning.
The 2007 pickup sustained an estimated $1,500 damage and was able to be driven away from the scene, the state patrol noted.
