A Washougal man was seriously injured after a vehicle crashed into a fire engine that was about to leave the scene of another crash on state Highway 14 in Camas. At about 9:20 p.m., crews with the Camas-Washougal Fire Department were dispatched to a single-vehicle crash on the westbound highway just east of the 192nd exit, according to the fire agency and Washington State Patrol. Troopers and medical personnel responded to the scene and evaluated the driver, 43-year-old Chad Houghton, Trooper Will Finn said. Troopers arrested Houghton for suspicion of driving under the influence of intoxicants, though while being processed he complained of minor injury and was taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, Finn said.
