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

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

afternoon.

Darcie O. Hupper, 49, Billings, Mont., was eastbound on Interstate

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

patrol.

The Subaru was driven Sandra Jimenez, 38, Spokane.

Jimenez was transporting four children, ages 9, 12, 14 and 16.

A

12-year-old boy was ejected from the Subaru during the crash,

according to state patrol.

None of the children was wearing seat belts, according to state

patrol.

All of the occupants in the Subaru were transported to Samaritan

Hospital for reported head and neck injuries.

The driver making the illegal U-turn did not suffer any

injuries.

State patrol suggest charging Hupper for negligent driving and

Jimenez for not using child restraints and having no insurance.
