ALGONA, Wash. (AP) — The Washington State Patrol says two people were injured when a street sweeper and semitrailer collided on State Route 167 in south King County Monday morning.

The driver of the street sweeper, a 30-year-old man from Bonney Lake, was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with multiple fractures and facial injuries. The other driver, a 41-year-old man from Lamont, California, was injured but released at the scene.

The patrol says both vehicles were heading north on Highway 167 in Algona when the tractor slowed for traffic and the street sweeper crashed into it.
