LACEY, Wash. (AP) - The Washington State Patrol says a 28-year-old Tacoma is dead after driving the wrong way on Interstate 5 in Lacey and crashing into an oncoming car.

The News Tribune reports that it happened at about 4:40 a.m. Sunday. The man’s car crashed into a sport-utility vehicle driven by a 16-year-old Chehalis girl. The girl suffered injuries that are not considered to be life-threatening.

Trooper Guy Gill says it’s not clear whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.
