A 23-year-old Pasco man is accused of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol when he drove through a fence and ended up down an embankment on Interstate 82.

The 11:50 p.m. Thursday crash happened in Grandview and sent a 21-year-old Grandview woman to the hospital, the Washington State Patrol said.

Jose A. Gomez was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Corvette north on Puterbaugh Road when he missed a left curve and went through a Department of Transportation fence, troopers said.

Gomez's car went down an embankment and onto the eastbound lane of I-82.

The passenger in his car, Tegan R. Vangundy-Carlson, 21, of Grandview, was treated at Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland, troopers said.

Both Vangundy-Carlson and Gomez were wearing seat belts.

Gomez, who also was injured, was booked into the Yakima County jail on suspicion of vehicular assault and possession of controlled substance.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
