A three-vehicle crash on State Route 12 in Elma sent a 37-year-old Olympia woman to the hospital with undisclosed injuries on Saturday morning.

The accident occurred at 11 a.m. when, according to the Washington State Patrol, a 26-year-old Cosmopolis man was stopped at the stop sign at Schouweiler Road and attempted to pull onto the highway. The Olympia woman was westbound on the highway and struck the Cosmopolis man’s vehicle, spinning, and then was struck by a third vehicle also going westbound driven by a 25-year-old McCleary woman.

The Olympia woman’s car crossed the eastbound lanes and came to rest on the eastbound shoulder, according to the State Patrol. The other two vehicles came to rest in the westbound lanes, blocking them. The State Patrol report said the cause of the crash was the Cosmopolis driver’s failure to yield to traffic on the highway.
