A woman is facing possible criminal charges after she crashed her car into a median on northbound Interstate 5 in Chehalis on Saturday while a 14-year-old boy was in the vehicle.
The woman, identified by the Washington State Patrol as Kristin M. Wickersham, 41, of Olympia, was transported to Providence Centralia Hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the crash.
She faces possible charges of second-degree negligent driving, third-degree driving with a suspended license, failure to wear a seat belt and driving without insurance.
The 14-year-old passenger was not injured in the crash, which was reported at approximately 2:25 p.m. on May 11.
Wickersham was reportedly driving a gray 2003 Toyota 4Runner on northbound I-5 when the car veered to the right shoulder and then veered to the left shoulder where it struck a median and came to rest blocking one lane.
The Washington State Patrol has determined “speeds too fast for conditions” was the cause of the crash. Alcohol or drugs were not involved, according to an incident report.
