SPOKANE VALLEY -- Washington State Patrol reports a woman trying to pull over caused a three-vehicle wreck Monday morning on I-90 near the Broadway exit in Spokane Valley.  It happened at about 8:35 a.m. in the eastbound direction.  WSP reports a trooper was trying to pull over a woman for going 72 MPH in the 60 MPH zone.  The trooper says she suddenly jerked over and caused two other vehicles to wreck.  The trooper was able to swerve and avoid the accidents unfolding in front of him.

Two people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.  The accidents delayed traffic through that area until the vehicles were cleared from the eastbound, inside lane.
