WAPATO, Wash. -- A 46-year-old Wapato man is in Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after the tractor he was operating was rear-ended by a car Tuesday night on Clark Road.

The Washington State Patrol said the driver of the car, identified as Joy Douglas, 52, of Wapato, is under investigation for vehicular assault.
Douglas was booked into the Yakima County jail early this morning, according to the jail’s booking log.
