Port Townsend woman injured in wreck on Highway 101 near Brinnon

BRINNON — A Port Townsend woman was hurt in a wreck on U.S. Highway 101 near Hjelvick Road on Tuesday.

Clarice Harrison, 21, was taken to Harrison Medical Center in Silverdale after the 11:59 a.m. wreck, the State Patrol said.

Harrison was treated and released from Harrison Medical Center in Silverdale as of Tuesday evening.

None of the five other people in the two-car wreck were injured.

The State Patrol said that Jasmine Weilerdally, 34, of Shelton — who was driving the car in which Harrison was a passenger — made an abrupt U-turn in front of a pickup driven by Keith R. McClanahan, 25, of Quilcene.

Both were traveling south on Highway 101 roughly 32 miles south of Port Townsend.

McClanahan tried to avoid the collision by crossing into the northbound lane but his pickup was struck in the passenger side by the vehicle driven by Weilerdally, the State Patrol said.

The State Patrol said that Weilerdally would be cited for failure to yield and second-degree negligent driving.

McClanahan’s pick up was towed from the wreck.

Also in Weilerdally’s car — all uninjured — were Shelton residents Rusty E. McClain, 36; Kalin Dally, 11; and Evan McClain, 13.
