Clallam: 2 collisions, no serious injuries in county

Clallam County law enforcement officers and medics were kept busy Wednesday with two car crashes and an erratically driven tractor-trailer on U.S. Highway 101.

Nobody was seriously injured in the two separate afternoon crashes, Sheriff Joe Martin said.

At least two vehicles were involved in a collision at Highway 101 and Mill Road in Sequim.

The intersection has been the site of other recent crashes, including an Aug. 6 collision that killed 75-year-old Lorna Kuhlman of Sequim.

About one mile west, near Joslin Road, a vehicle on Wednesday left the highway and bounced off a guardrail, sending the driver to the hospital for treatment.

Martin said her vehicle may have slipped on the wet roadway.

Names and further details of the crashes were not immediately available Wednesday evening.

Also on Wednesday, the sheriff said he pulled over a 40-foot flatbed truck that was reportedly passing cars illegally on a double yellow line and forcing motorists off the road as it drove west on the highway.

Several drivers called 9-1-1 to report the truck, and officers intercepted the vehicle as it entered Port Angeles and turned the case over to the Washington State Patrol.

Martin said the driver would likely receive a citation.
