    Question Ticket for 'Improper Lane'

    I was recently in a very bad accident. I flipped my car on I- 90 Washington State. I don’t know what happened and neither do any of the eyewitnesses. They all say exactly as I do, I was driving with traffic and all of a sudden I was air borne. No one else was involved and my car ended up in the dirt median between the two main highways. I was not obstructing traffic except for the so-called ‘looky lous’ of course. The state patrol officer followed my ambulance to the hospital to inform me he was mailing me a ticket for falling asleep at the wheel. I told him that not one witness had stated that and I most certainly did not fall asleep. A month later I get a ticket in the mail but not for what he stated it would be for. Instead I get a ticket for ‘improper lane’, not improper lane use just ‘improper lane’. I looked up improper lane and only found there was improper lane change and improper lane use. The only way I can see this effecting me is if I was changing lanes or was in a carpool lane when my accident occurred but I was not. I was on a two lane highway going with traffic, really as simple as that. How does this effect my accident? What grounds does this ticket have? Does a officer HAVE to ticket you when you are in an accident with just your car? I’m confused….please help.
