A drowsy driver flipped an SUV on Interstate 82, leaving two of the five people inside hurt early Monday in Kennewick.

The SUV went off the road and flipped.
Two passengers, Caitilin B. Irick, 23, and Emory E. Hebdon, 23, both from Lava Springs, were taken to local hospitals with injuries. Irick was treated, Emory Hebdon’s condition was not immediately available.
