Hamilton was stopped at the stop sign on Woodland Drive and Highway 19 as Cotterill was northbound on the highway, approaching Woodland Drive, according to a State Patrol report.

Hamilton pulled out from Woodland Drive in her 2007 Subaru Legacy in front of Cotterill’s 2013 Kia Optima, and the vehicles collided in the intersection at 4:28 p.m., the State Patrol reported.

Hamilton was cited for failure to yield at a stop sign, according to the State Patrol.

The report stated both drivers were wearing seat belts, and that neither drugs nor alcohol were contributing factors.

Both vehicles were totally destroyed and towed from the scene, the State Patrol said.

Currently, the DNR is evaluating Wright's claim that there is a rare plant community in one of the units, which would qualify the parcel for automatic protection from logging. Locating rare plant communities is just one of the methods environmental activists use to protect what they call "legacy forests." (Joshua Wright)
