Suspected drunk driver smashes into WSDOT truck

A suspected drunk driver smashed into a WSDOT truck on Tuesday, as the truck provided traffic control for a disabled car and tow truck, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Around 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, an attenuator truck was providing traffic control for a disabled vehicle and a tow truck on westbound Interstate 90, just west of Easton.

Even with several signs warning of the closed lane, a car struck the truck.

There were no major injuries.

The Washington State Patrol arrested the driver of the car for a possible DUI.

WSDOT reminds all drivers to slow down, drive safe, be alert and secure your loads.
