A 52-year-old Skagit County man faces possible DUI charges after he crashed his scooter Saturday morning just a few steps away from the Washington State Patrol detachment in Burlington.

State troopers responded to the accident scene, on Josh Wilson Road at the Highway 11 intersection, at about 9:40 a.m. Saturday.

An investigation found that the man was heading east on Josh Wilson Road on a 2010 scooter when he struck the curb in the roundabout at Highway 11, the State Patrol reported. The scooter came to rest in the eastbound lane.The accident happened not more than a few feet away from the State Patrol office for the area, so troopers did not have far to go to get to the scene.

The man was not wearing a helmet. He was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment of injuries.

The State Patrol said alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash and that the man faces possible DUI charges when he is released from the hospital.
