Grandview,WA : Rollover crash shuts down Interstate 82 on June, Friday 2nd 2017

Interstate 82 westbound was shut down just before 4 p.m. Friday after a vehicle towing a trailer overturned.

#Washington State Patrol troopers responded to the crash, reported at 3:58 p.m., to find a Chevrolet Tahoe and the trailer behind it laying across both westbound lanes at about Milepost 73.

#The driver of the vehicle was Vickie Coye, 43, of Richland. Troopers said she suffered minor injuries in the crash.

#“We were going camping,” Coye’s best friend, Amy Van Dermulen said at the scene.

#Coye was alone in her vehicle, driving a few miles ahead of Van Dermulen, who was in a separate vehicle with her husband.

#“We came upon the scene and were surprised because she’s (Coye) a good driver,” Van Dermulen said.

#Troopers said Coye reported feeling her trailer sway.

#She slowed, but the Tahoe left the roadway and she overcorrected causing the vehicle and trailer to overturn, Washington State Patrol troopers said.

#Traffic on the freeway was diverted to Yakima Valley Highway and the freeway was closed for close to 90 minutes.
