Meanwhile, Lynch and his passenger, Leah Jean Borbash, 23, Johnson Creek, received "nonincapacitating injuries" and had to be transported by ambulance from the scene.
The crash initially resulted in a citation to Lynch for an insurance violation and acitation to Bass for violating a traffic-control signal, according to the report.
