DISCOVERY BAY — A Port Ludlow woman remained hospitalized in Seattle on Tuesday afternoon after a three-car wreck Monday.
Two Sequim men had been treated and discharged by Tuesday.
Laurel S. Thompson, 45, was initially admitted to the Harborview Medical Center’s intensive care unit after the wreck but was transferred to regular care Tuesday and was in satisfactory condition, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Hector D. Baylon, 19, and Darrin M. Liggins, 44, were treated and released at Jefferson Healthcare hospital in Port Townsend, a Jefferson spokeswoman said.
According to a State Patrol report, the wreck occurred at about 6:19 a.m. Monday on U.S. Highway 101 at Discovery Bay.
The report detailed the following series of events:
Baylon was driving a silver 2003 Chevrolet Impala northbound on U.S. Highway 101 at Milepost 281.
Thompson, driving a black 2002 Ford Focus, was followed by Liggins, driving a blue 1993 Chevrolet pickup truck, and both were southbound on Highway 101.
The Impala entered a curve to the right, crossed the centerline and collided head-on with the Ford.
The Impala and Ford rotated 90 degrees across the roadway.
Liggins was unable to stop for the collision and struck the Ford.
Thompson was airlifted to Harborview, while Baylon and Liggins were taken by ambulance to Jefferson Healthcare.
The State Patrol report said alcohol or drugs were involved.
The cause of the wreck remains under investigation, and charges are pending, troopers said.
All three vehicles were listed as destroyed. They were towed to impound yards.
