Auburn

Wrong-way driver

causes injury crash

A 42-year-old Auburn man was in serious condition at Harborview Medical Center after the 1993 Subaru Legacy he was driving was struck at 3:16 a.m. Thursday by a wrong-way driver.

All lanes of westbound Highway 18 near Peasley Canyon in Auburn were closed for about two hours while state troopers investigated the head-on collision. The Auburn man, Samuel E. Logan, was in Harborview's intensive-care unit.

Ivan R. Allen, 25, of Soda Springs, Idaho, was driving a 2001 Toyota Tacoma for about 1 ½ miles the wrong way on westbound Highway 18 before colliding head-on with Logan's Subaru, according to the Washington State Patrol. Allen was taken to Harborview with minor injuries. Allen, who was arrested, is being investigated for vehicular assault, the state patrol reported.

"We have reason to believe alcohol played a role," said State Trooper Dan McDonald.
