BLYN — Two men were injured in a four-wheeler wreck on Snow Creek Road south of Blyn on Sunday, and one of them had to be airlifted due to his injuries.
The men were riding ATVs at about 2:40 p.m. Sunday near mile marker 5.5 on Snow Creek Road, on the Jefferson County side of the Clallam-Jefferson county line.
One was following the other and ran into the back of the leading ATV, causing both to wreck, said Sgt. Mark Apeland of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
Derek Franson, 35, of Port Ludlow received a head injury and was transported to Olympic Medical Center, Apeland said.
Martin Mills, 43, of Nordland had shoulder and ribcage injuries and was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, he said.
Apeland said there was difficulty with the airlift location near the wreck site, and Mills was taken by ambulance to Jefferson County International Airport near Port Townsend before being flown to Seattle.
Clallam County Fire District No. 3 and all five Jefferson County fire districts assisted at the scene or at the airlift, he said.
The U.S. Forest Service and state Department of Fish and Wildlife also assisted.
