A 21-year-old driver was seriously injured when he was ejected from a rollover collision last night along a county road west of Chehalis.
Firefighters called just before 8 p.m. to the 900 block of Shorey Road found the driver in critical condition, according to Lewis County Fire District 6.
Levi W. Taylor, from Chehalis, had injuries to his head and face and was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.
The passenger, a 21-year-old Chehalis woman, had been wearing her seat belt and sustained minor injuries, according to the sheriff’s office. She was transported to Providence Centralia Hospital where she was treated and has been released, Chief Deputy Stacy Brown said this morning.
Taylor was cited for not wearing a seat belt and for third-degree driving with a suspended license, Brown said. He faces possible charges of driving under the influence and reckless endangerment, depending upon the results of blood analysis, Brown said.
Taylor is listed in serious condition, according to a hospital spokesperson. His 2008 Pontiac G6 was totaled.
