PORT ANGELES — One person was taken to Olympic Medical Center on Wednesday after a wreck on U.S. Highway 101 at the Morse Creek curve east of Port Angeles.
According to the State Patrol, Port Angeles resident Judy C. Wilhelm, 71, was injured and taken to the hospital after the single-vehicle wreck three miles east of the city.
State Patrol said Wilhelm was driving a beige 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe eastbound on Highway 101 at 2:12 p.m. when she failed to negotiate a curve to the left and left the roadway, striking a large boulder.
The vehicle rotated and came to rest blocking both eastbound lanes.
The cause of the wreck remains under investigation.
The roadway was partially blocked with alternating traffic allowed through the area for roughly four hours.
Wilhelm’s vehicle was totaled and impounded. She was wearing a seat belt at the time of the wreck.
