CHEHALIS – A Centralia driver was cited after skidding in the rain and causing a three-vehicle accident on Interstate 5 in Chehalis last night.

No serious injuries were reported but two people were taken to Providence Centralia Hospital after the approximately 7:30 p.m. wreck.

A trooper called to the collision on Interstate 5 just north of the 13th Street interchange reported a 2003 Ford Focus was entering the freeway and hydroplaned crossing both lanes and striking the concrete barrier.

Twenty-four-year-old Daniel J. Bolin’s car was then hit by a Nissan Frontier which then ran into a Jeep Cherokee, according to the Washington State Patrol. Each vehicle sustained no more than an estimated $4,000 damage, the state patrol reported.

Bolin was cited for “speed too fast for conditions”.
