TOPPENISH, Wash. -- A woman is in a Seattle hospital and a man is in the Yakima County jail for investigation of vehicular assault following an accident Wednesday night at Branch Road and U.S. Highway 97.
The Washington State Patrol said drugs or alcohol were a factor in the accident, according to a patrol accident memorandum issued late Wednesday.
The woman, identified as Brandon Butler, 31, of Yakima was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle following the 6:50 p.m. crash. She is in intensive care in serious condition, the hospital said this morning.
The man in custody is identified as Gary Peters, 36, of Yakima. According to a county jail log, Peters was booked about 10 p.m. Wednesday.
