Port Hadlock woman hurt in van crash south of Port Townsend

PORT TOWNSEND — A Port Hadlock woman was airlifted to a Seattle hospital Saturday afternoon after a minivan hit a tree by the side of state Highway 20.

Diana R. Sayer, 49, was a passenger in a 2003 Toyota Sienna minivan being driven by Rashad A Richardson, 34, westbound on state Highway 20 about 2 miles south of Port Townsend at about 1:50 p.m., according to the State Patrol.

The van left the roadway to the right and struck a tree, the State Patrol said.

Richardson was uninjured, the State Patrol said, while Sayer was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center.

Her condition was not immediately available Saturday.
