A 52-year-old Oakville woman is at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after she was ejected from a car that rolled several times when its driver lost control on Interstate 5 in south Thurston County yesterday.

Troopers called about 1:40 p.m. to the northbound lanesĀ  about five miles north of Grand Mound, report the 1997 BMW 740 was headed north and traveling too fast when its 21-year-old driver wrecked.

Carla J. Thomas, 52, of Oakville, was transported to the Seattle hospital, according to the Washington State Patrol. This morning Thomas was listed in serious condition in the intensive care unit there.

The driver was also injured. Jonathan M. Jack, 21, of Rochester was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, according to the state patrol.

A spokesperson for Sr. Peter’s said this morning Jack was not a patient at the hospital. An individual with the same name has been booked into the Thurston County Jail for vehicular assault, according to jails’ online roster.

The BMW was impounded to the state patrol’s bullpen in Tacoma.
