EXTREME SPORTS PARK: (Updated) Wild crash at ASBR qualifying Saturday

Injuries not major

PORT ANGELES — The action was wild during American Sprint Boat Racing qualifying Saturday at the Extreme Sports Park outside of Port Angeles with a harrowing rollover crash by the Jeepers Creepers boat out of Sequim.

The Jeepers Creepers boat with a crew of Teri Cummings and stepson Dillon Cummings was on its second qualifying run Saturday afternoon when the boat hit the bank, left the water, flipped over once and landed very hard on its hull.

Neither crew member got out of the boat and were attended by race officials and medics for about 20 minutes. One member of the boat was taken out of the boat on a backboard and stretcher while the other was able to walk away.

After a delay of about 45 minutes, qualifying continued.
