SLIDESHOW: Crash sends poles through windshield
Troopers said a car pulling a load of poles slowed down behind a dump truck along Mount Baker Highway.
That's when a 37-year-old woman allegedly plowed into the trailer from behind, sending the poles through the windshield of her car and out the rear window.
She went to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The two people in the other vehicle are expected to be okay.
Investigators are still looking into the incident.
