The Washington State Patrol says a medical issue caused a motorist from Winlock to run a stop sign as he exited Interstate 5 where his vehicle was struck by two cars before it caught fire this afternoon about 10 miles south of Chehalis.

The driver, Scott B. Caulfield, 38, was unhurt, but his Chevrolet Aveo was totaled, according to the state patrol.

It happened when Caulfield got off southbound at exit 68, and involved two other vehicles traveling on U.S. Highway 12, according to the state patrol.

Troopers called just after 3 p.m. to the scene note no one else was injured, but only one vehicle was able to be driven away on its own.
