Two remain in hospital after 5-vehicle wreck near Hood Canal Bridge

SHINE — Two people were recovering Monday at different hospitals after a five-vehicle wreck west of the Hood Canal Bridge.

The crash initially sent five people to several hospitals, one of whom had to be airlifted.

According to a State Patrol report, Richmond, B.C., resident Sherry I. Christianson, 65, was stopped in her 2005 Toyota Matrix on Paradise Bay Road at state Highway 104 at 1:37 p.m. on Sunday.

At the same time, Bonney Lake resident Jacee P. Crull, 52, was driving a silver 2002 Honda Odyssey eastbound on Highway 104 just west of Paradise Bay Road.

Christianson entered eastbound lane of Highway 104, and her Toyota struck the eastbound Odyssey driven by Crull.

Nearby, four vehicles were parked in the eastbound pullout on the west side of the Hood Canal bridge, according to the report.

A red Ford Fusion parked in the pullout was unoccupied.

A green 1997 Honda CRV parked behind the Ford was occupied by a passenger, 5-month-old Eli W. Woods of Silverdale.

Silverdale resident Sarah A. Woods, 21, was outside the Honda CRV, between it and an unoccupied white 2012 Honda Civic behind the CRV.

The fourth vehicle parked in the pullout was not involved in the wreck.

After the impact, Crull lost control of the Odyssey and it left the roadway, entered the pullout and struck the Ford Fusion.

The Toyota also left the roadway, entered the pullout and struck the Honda CRV, which was pushed into the Honda Civic, pinning Sarah Woods between the vehicles. Sarah Woods was taken by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

She was in serious condition in the intensive care unit at Harborview, a hospital spokeswoman said Monday.

Three were taken by ambulance to Jefferson Healthcare in Port Townsend; Crull, Eli Woods, and Jessica A. Nicolich, 35, of Bonney Lake, a passenger in the Odyssey.

All three were treated and released, a Jefferson Healthcare spokeswoman said Monday.

Christianson was taken by ambulance to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton.

She was in stable condition Monday, a hospital spokesman said.

The cause of the wreck was inattention and failure to yield right of way by Christianson, and charges are pending, according to the state patrol report.
