CONCRETE, Wash. (AP) - A 47-year-old driver is facing felony charges after his vehicle collided with a bus carrying members of a school wrestling team in rural Skagit County.

The Washington State Patrol says Justin Rodgers was under the influence of drugs or alcohol when he ran a stop Tuesday night and slammed into a Concrete School District transport bus. Seven people were injured, including four youth wrestlers.

The Bellingham Herald reports that Rodgers and his 7-year-old passenger were taken to a Seattle hospital. A hospital official says Rodgers was in critical condition Wednesday.
