MARTHA LAKE, Wash. - Two people were injured when a Hummer crashed and flipped over on Interstate 5 early Saturday.
Washington State Patrol troopers said the 2003 Hummer was heading north on I-5 just north of Interstate 405 when it veered off the roadway to the right at about 3:20 a.m.
The vehicle then hit the guardrail and smashed through several signs. The Hummer came to rest, blocking two lanes, after rolling over.
The driver, a 33-year-old Auburn man, and his passenger, a 28-year-old Auburn man, were both taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment of injuries, troopers said.
The Hummer was totaled. No other vehicles were hit in the crash.
