WAPATO — Two people were injured when a driver the Washington State Patrol said was drunk careened into the parking lot of a convenience store.

The crash happened at 5:05 p.m. Sunday in the parking lot of an unspecified store at the corner of Frontage Road and West First Street, according to a patrol bulletin.

Troopers said a 1989 Mercedes Benz driven by Adrian T. Eli veered off Frontage Road and into the parking lot, striking a cement block, which, in turn, hit a parked pickup truck.

Eli, 31, of Wapato, was taken to Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital, along with the driver of the truck, 28-year-old Jojo C. Miller, also of Wapato.

An update on their conditions was not immediately available. The patrol said Eli was drunk and that charges of vehicular assault are anticipated.

Miller’s pickup, a 2002 Ford, was totaled, the patrol said.
