CHEHALIS – A Tenino man is hospitalized with two broken arms after for unknown reasons he bolted from an approaching trooper making it partway across the northbound lanes of Interstate 5 at Maytown before running into the side of a Jeep Wrangler this evening.
Troopers began getting multiple 911 calls about a pedestrian in the roadway, on the southbound side near milepost 95, according to the Washington State Patrol.
An arriving trooper made contact with the man, noticing he had a knife in his hand and blood on his shirt, according to the state patrol.
The trooper told him to drop it and he did, but as the trooper walked toward him, the man turned and ran, Trooper Todd Bartolac said.
Jeffery D. Lantrip, 50, from Tenino, was transported to Providence St. Peter Hospital and may have some internal injuries as well, according to the state patrol.
The roadway was blocked for more than three hours as the incident was investigated.
Bartolac said they don’t know why he was carrying a knife or where the blood came from, but detectives are continuing their investigation.
“There were no threats or anything like that,” he said.
The Chehalis man driving the 2014 Jeep Wrangler, Scott D. White, and his passenger were uninjured but there was some damage to the vehicle, according to the patrol.
