Port Angeles man treated, discharged after wreck at U.S. Highway 101, Olympic Hot Springs Road

PORT ANGELES — An 81-year-old man was treated and discharged from Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles after a 7:17 a.m. wreck Tuesday at U.S. Highway 101 and Olympic Hot Springs Road.

Raymond Santiago of Port Angeles was taken to the hospital with an injured foot after his 1999 Subaru Forester was hit by a 2001 Ford F250 pickup truck driven by Thomas L. Lund, 62, of Chehalis, according to the State Patrol and Clallam County Fire District No. 2.

Lund was not hurt, troopers said. The State Patrol cited Lund for driving too fast for conditions.

Lund, traveling west on Highway 101, failed to negotiate a curve, turned sideways into the eastbound lane and collided with Santiago’s car, the State Patrol said.

Traffic was limited to one lane of traffic until just before 9 a.m. while the wreck was investigated.

Both cars were destroyed, troopers said, adding that both drivers were wearing seat belts and that no drugs or alcohol were involved.
