Driver with no lights rear-ended on I-182 in Pasco — and then cited for driving drunk
A suspected drunk driver caused a wreck on Interstate 182 in Pasco when he was driving without his lights on.
Steven L. Burt, 69, of Pasco, was driving east on the highway in a Toyota pickup just before midnight Thursday, the Washington State Patrol said.
A driver in a Pontiac Grand Am didn’t spot the truck in time to slow down and ran into the back of it a mile from the Highway 395 interchange.
The Pontiac’s driver, Lee J Rocha, 45, of Kennewick, was taken to Lourdes Medical Center. His condition was not immediately available.
Burt was not hurt and was cited for DUI, said WSP investigators.
