Three transported to Olympic Medical Center after Sequim wreck

SEQUIM –– Three people were transported to Olympic Medical Center after a two-vehicle wreck partially blocked part of U.S. Highway 101 east of Sequim on Monday.

Port Angeles resident Barbara Sadler, 64, crossed the center line and sideswiped an oncoming vehicle one mile east of Sequim, according to the State Patrol.

Sadler’s PT Cruiser stopped in the eastbound lane while a Nissan Sentra, driven by 75-year-old Poulsbo resident Janice Counselor, fell 15 feet over the westbound embankment.

Julie Delgado, 71, was also in Counselor’s car.
