The Deputy observed a vehicle driving south on the northbound exit ramp attempting to enter the freeway going the wrong way. The Deputy activated his emergency lights and moved his patrol car to the middle of the off ramp in an attempt to stop the wrong way driver. The driver failed to stop and collided head-on with the deputy. The driver was processed for DUI and did not sustain injuries. The deputy was transported to a local hospital for treatment and was released. Washington State Patrol is investigating. No further details to be released at this time. Picture is attached.
