A 16-year-old Mossyrock boy was hospitalized last night after a two-vehicle crash at U.S. Highway 12 and Williams Street in Mossyrock.
Theron W. Leger, 16, stopped northbound on Williams but then failed to yield to eastbound highway traffic as he attempted to cross the intersection, according to the Washington State Patrol.
His 1993 Mercury was struck in the left rear, the state patrol reported. It and the eastbound 2004 Ford Explorer – both described as totaled – came to rest in the westbound lane, the state patrol reported.
The other driver, Gary W. House, 67, of Packwood, was reportedly uninjured. Leger sustained what the investigating trooper described a minor injuries and was taken to Morton General Hospital as a precaution, the state patrol reported.
The time of the call was about 6:40 p.m. The wreck was blamed by the patrol on inattention.
