Two people were injured late Tuesday evening after a suspected drunken driver crashed head-on into another vehicle in Buckley. The accident happened about 10 p.m. on State Route 162. A pickup truck driven by a 25-year-old South Prairie man went off the highway near 130th Street, and the driver overcorrected. The pickup turned into the path of a car in the opposite direction. The South Prairie man and the other driver, a 55-year-old Buckley woman, were taken to the hospital. The State Patrol said alcohol likely was involved and the man could face vehicular assault charges.
