GEORGE — A driver making an illegal U-turn on Interstate 90 caused

the car behind it to rollover, injuring five people, on Sunday

afternoon.

90 when she reportedly slowed the 2005 Ford Crossover she was

driving to make an illegal U-turn, 10 miles west of George,

according to Washington State Patrol on Monday.

The 2001 Subaru Forester behind Hupper allegedly swerved to avoid

hitting her and rolled into the highway median, according to state
