PORT ANGELES — A woman who was injured in a one-car wreck in Port Angeles last week has been moved out of a Seattle hospital’s intensive-care unit.
Port Angeles resident Erin Disalvo, 51, was in stable condition in acute care Sunday, said a Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman.
The wreck that injured Disalvo took place late Wednesday afternoon.
Disalvo was the sole occupant of a Chevrolet pickup that witnesses estimate was traveling at 60 mph before it struck the guardrail at Eighth and L streets in west Port Angeles and continued westbound into the woods.
The pickup truck crashed through the guardrail, collided with a tree and came to a rest against a second tree, about 100 feet from the dead end on West Eighth Street.
The car narrowly missed plunging off a bluff above a Hamilton Elementary School portable building.
Disalvo was initially trapped inside the heavily damaged pickup, and hydraulic extrication equipment was needed to remove her from the vehicle.
She was taken to Olympic Medical Center and flown to Harborview.
Disalvo’s license had been suspended for unpaid tickets, according to the Port Angeles Police Department.
The wreck remains under investigation by police.
