GEORGE — A Moses Lake man was injured in an early Wednesday morning collision on Interstate 90 near George.

About 6:20 a.m. Kenneth Johnson, 55, of Moses Lake, was driving a 2001 Freightliner towing a flatbed trailer west on I-90, about four miles west of George, when he reportedly left the road to the left. The semi went over an embankment and came to a rest at Silica Road, according to the Washington State Patrol.
