The Washington State Patrol is investigating a three car accident that took place just north of Pasco on Highway 395 that sent one woman to the hospital.

The State Patrol said a dump truck carrying coal was going southbound on Highway 395 when the driver lost control and the truck's load of coal on the roadway.

The accident caused a dust cloud to form over the highway.

A Richland man driving past the accident in a freight tractor slowed down and was then hit from behind by a 21-year-old woman from Beverly, Washington.

The woman was taken to Kadlec Regional Medical Center for her injuries.
