SEATTLE — The Washington State Patrol says the driver of a motor home that overturned on Interstate 5 north of Seattle suffered only minor injuries, and her 3-year-old son and a man sleeping in the back were unharmed.
The driver, 42-year-old Tricia Arthur of Albany, Ore., told troopers a flat tire may have caused her to lose control about 5 a.m. today. The RV struck a guardrail and rolled on the shoulder, ripping off the top and spreading debris.
Arthur was treated at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Trooper Julie Startup said witnesses gave the boy and man a ride to a nearby church.
The state Transportation Department says the accident caused a 10-mile backup in the southbound lanes for Seattle commuters.
