INDEX — Traffic backed up for miles Friday night after a wreck on U.S. 2 just east of Index.

About 3:15 p.m., a vehicle crossed the center line and struck another vehicle, said Trooper Keith Leary with the Washington State Patrol.

A man in the vehicle that was struck was taken to the hospital. His injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, Leary said.

The road was closed completely for about 90 minutes. The crash is under investigation.
