CLALLAM BAY — State Highway 112 east of Clallam Bay was blocked for about four hours this week after a collision between a truck being towed by a recreational vehicle and a trailer being towed by a dump truck.
The wreck occurred at about 3:23 p.m. Wednesday near Milepost 22, about 5 miles east of Clallam Bay, said State Patrol Trooper Alan Nelson.
There were no injuries to the drivers or a passenger in the RV, Nelson said.
The State Patrol gave this account:
Steven L. Johnson, 65, with passenger Susan M. Johnson, 57, both of Oregon City, Ore., were driving a 27-foot 2002 Alfa RV and pulling a 2010 Chevrolet pickup truck westbound on 112.
Delbert R. Baar, 64, of Clallam Bay was driving a 1994 Mack dump truck pulling a 1985 pup trailer eastbound on 112.
Johnson veered to the westbound shoulder and into the ditch, re-entered the westbound lane and crossed the centerline, and Baar veered into the eastbound ditch to avoid collision, Nelson said.
Johnson’s pickup, which was being towed behind the RV, struck the trailer of vehicle two on the left rear dual wheels.
The roadway was at least partially obstructed for four hours.
Both vehicles suffered reportable damage, the State Patrol said.
The RV and Mack truck were driven from the scene, and the pickup truck was towed for repairs.
Johnson was cited for driving with wheels off the roadway.
