4-car crash near Chimacum leaves Sequim woman hurt

CHIMACUM — A Sequim woman was treated and discharged from Jefferson Healthcare hospital after four-car wreck on Center Road on Wednesday afternoon.

Ashley Lynn Debler, 23, suffered the only injury in the 3:45 p.m. wreck on state Highway 104, six miles southwest of Chimacum.

The State Patrol gave this account:

At about 3:45 p.m., four drivers, each traveling alone, were heading west when Kathleen Marie Jordan, 62, of Snoqualmie pulled her 2004 Subaru Forester onto the shoulder to avoid an eastbound vehicle that had pulled into the westbound lane to pass slower traffic.

Margaret Robertsen-Burris, 54, of Port Angeles drove her 2007 Honda Civic to the shoulder and safely stopped at least two car lengths behind the Forester.

A 2001 Toyota Prius driven by Charles Rene Marr, 76, of Sequim, passed the Honda Civic and attempted to pull to the shoulder but struck the Honda’s front bumper.

The Prius came to rest between the two cars.

Debler, driving a 2001 Mazda, pulled to the shoulder in front of the Honda Civic, struck the rear end of the Prius and pushed it into the rear of the Forester.

Debler was cited for unsafe passing and passing too close.

Marr was cited for unsafe passing.
