WSP detains hit-and-run driver accused of causing 9 crashes

A suspected hit-and-run driver that caused multiple crashes involving nine different vehicles on State Route 3 has been detained.

Washington State Patrol says a man caused the crashes on northbound SR 3 earlier on Monday.

The suspect then jumped into the bed of a truck and got a ride to Finn Hill, according to WSP.

The man dislocated his shoulder while trying to jump out of the truck bed and was detained.

WSP says there were a total of nine vehicles involved, starting at Newberry.

Troopers are forwarding charges for felony DUI and hit-and-run.

This is a developing story.
