2-vehicle wreck sends pair of adults, 1 child to Seattle

PORT TOWNSEND — A head-on collision in Port Townsend over the weekend sent two adults and a child to a Seattle hospital.

Their names were not available Monday afternoon. Hospitals will not release conditions of patients without names.

A Honda Odyssey minivan reportedly stuck a Chevrolet Tahoe sport utility vehicle at the intersection of West Hastings Avenue and Cape George Road shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday, said Bill Beezley, East Jefferson Fire-Rescue spokesman.

Five children and one adult were in the minivan. Two adults were in the SUV, he said.

A 52-year-old woman passenger in the minivan suffered leg injuries and was airlifted from Jefferson County International Airport to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle,

Beezley said.

The adult woman driver of the minivan and a boy who was a passenger in the car also were flown to Harborview with head and shoulder injuries, he said.

The remaining children in the minivan were transported to Jefferson Healthcare hospital in Port Townsend for evaluation.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the wreck.

Air bags in both vehicles deployed during the collision.

Units from Naval Magazine Indian Island and Quilcene Fire and Rescue assisted at the wreck.
