Two adults and a child were injured Thursday morning when their car rolled off Interstate 182 near Queensgate Drive in Richland, according to the Washington State Patrol.
A 40-year-old Pasco man was heading east on I-182 when he drove his Ford Ranger pickup truck off the freeway. The truck rolled near Queensgate Drive.
The man and his two passengers — a 40-year-old Pasco man and a 7-year-old child — were taken to Trios Southridge Hospital in Kennewick for their injuries.
The 7-year-old was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the incident, State Patrol said.
Police cited the driver for an improper lane change.

Those injuries include:
- Head and neck injuries

After an accident, your child may be afraid of riding in cars. Both of you may lose sleep. And whether your child is stuck in the hospital or bed-ridden for a period of time, you have a lot to deal with.
