Also Friday morning in Zillah, a single-vehicle roll-over crash sent five children and a female driver to the hospital with injuries.

According to Washington State Patrol, the 30-year old Sunnyside woman rolled her 2000 Toyota Sienna minivan on Interstate 82 just after 8 am.

The group was traveling eastbound when the woman overcorrected and lost control of the minivan, which rolled into the median. The minivan was totaled.

All of the occupants of the minivan were transported to Astria Sunnyside Hospital for evaluation.

The woman is being charged with negligent driving.

Another reminder that this weekend, Washington State Patrol is conducting a speed emphasis. Slow down. Observe the speed limit.

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.
