FORKS — A woman was transported to Forks Community Hospital following a Thursday morning traffic collision on U.S. Highway 101, according to the Forks Police Department.
The two-vehicle collision at about 10:20 a.m. involved a burgundy Jeep Compass and a white Ford Fusion at milepost 192 in front of West End Motors, located at 192681 U.S. Highway 101, said Kelsey Pearson, police spokeswoman, on Thursday afternoon.
One of the drivers, Barbara Neihouse, 56, of Forks, was injured when her air bag did not deploy, Pearson said.
Neihouse was transported to the hospital, she said.
Hospital administrators declined to comment on her condition Thursday.
The driver of the other vehicle, Dorothy McCoy — age and hometown unavailable — was not transported to a hospital, Pearson said.
At least one lane was blocked. The state Department of Transportation said the highway was cleared by 1 p.m.
