After striking the semi, Rigdon's truck then rotated back into the proper lane of travel where it also impacted an SUV driven by 39-year-old Bhim Lalprajapati of Quincy.

Both Rigdon and Lalprajapati were injured in the collision and transported to Confluence Health Hospital in Wenatchee for treatment, while De La Cerda unhurt.

Two passengers in Lalprajapati's vehicle, including a 5-year-old boy, were also uninjured in the crash but were transported to Confluence Health Hospital as a precaution.

Troopers say it's not yet known if impairment was a factor in the accident, which snarled traffic on the highway for about an hour and remains under investigation.
