  <body>&lt;p&gt;GRANGER &amp;mdash; A car parked on Interstate 82 outside Granger early Sunday caused four vehicles to wreck and catch the parked car on fire, the&amp;nbsp; Washington State Patrol reported.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Only one of the four occupants was injured, troopers said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The sequence started about 3:20 a.m. when 30-year-old Manuel Sanchez Garcia, hometown unknown, stopped his eastbound Mercury Cougar on the inside lane of the interstate near Exit 54. The car had no lights on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Along came Benton City driver Elroy West, 49, who swerved to miss the Cougar. His Pontiac Grand Am left the roadway to the left. The next two cars &amp;mdash; a Geo Metro and a Jeep Liberty &amp;mdash;&amp;nbsp; hit the Cougar, causing it to catch fire.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pedro Ortega, 47, of Sunnyside was driving the Metro. The Liberty&amp;rsquo;s driver, 25-year-old Jackie Herrera of Toppenish, was taken to Toppenish Community Hospital, her condition was not available on Sunday evening.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All but the Grand Am were destroyed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The three following drivers were wearing seat belts. Troopers said they did not know whether Sanchez Garcia was wearing his seat belt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;-- Yakima Herald-Republic&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
