A Walla Walla County woman has injuries following a two-vehicle accident involving a semi truck near Cle Elum this morning.

The Washington State Patrol says the crash occurred at just after 7:30 a.m. on State Route 970 when a car driven by 36-year-old Amanda L. Yaksic of College Place crossed the centerline and struck the semi.
