Two from Quilcene treated, discharged after collision on Highway 101 south of Brinnon

BRINNON — Two Quilcene residents had been treated and discharged from a Shelton hospital by Tuesday after a three-car wreck at 1 p.m. Monday on U.S. Highway 101 at Milepost 329 between Brinnon and Shelton.

Gustave J. Brush, 70, and Gayle A. Johnson, 68, were taken to Mason General Hospital after Brush’s gold 1999 Chevrolet K1 pickup truck hit two other cars, the State Patrol said.

Johnson was a passenger in Brush’s pickup.

None of those in the other cars was injured, troopers said.

All three vehicles were traveling southbound

The State Patrol said Paul E. Young, 67, of Quartzsite, Ariz., was merging his white 2005 Damon Motor Coach RV back onto Highway 101 from a slow vehicle turnout.

Lester Oehler, 37, of Corvalis, Ore., driving a green 2003 Honda CRV, slowed the Honda to let the RV back onto the roadway, the State Patrol said, and the pickup driven by Brush collided with the rear of the Honda, then collided with the RV.

Rachel L. Oehler, 37, of Corvalis was a passenger in Lester Oehler’s car. Wanda L. Young, 66, of Quartzsite was a passenger in Paul Young’s car.

Brush was cited for second-degree negligent driving after troopers said the cause of the wreck was speed too fast for conditions.

All travelers were using their seat belts, the State Patrol said.

Neither alcohol nor drugs were suspected as a factor in the wreck.
