SEQUIM — A city woman injured Thursday evening during a single-vehicle rollover near U.S. Highway 101 was recovering Monday at a Seattle hospital.
She was listed Monday in satisfactory condition at Harborview Medical Center, hospital staff said.
Trisha L. Mulyahill, 22, and Johnny D. Harris, 68, of Naches were transported with non-life-threatening injuries to Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles after being extricated from a Ford Explorer after the 5:10 p.m. wreck, according to the State Patrol.
Both were discharged from OMC as of Friday morning, with Mulyahill being airlifted to Seattle for further treatment, according to an email Monday from Mulyahill’s sister-in-law Crystal Kitchin.
Investigation
The State Patrol is investigating if the cause of the wreck was a medical emergency on the part of Harris, who was driving the Ford westbound on Highway 101 onto the River Road exit.
According to state patrol, the Explorer crossed over the triangular area where the roadways split and across the westbound lanes of Highway 101, the median and into oncoming eastbound traffic.
The Explorer then left the south side of the eastbound lanes and traveled down the embankment through a fence westbound onto Turnstone Lane, which runs parallel to Highway 101 on the south side.
It left Turnstone Lane to the north, struck several trees and traveled back through the fence before rolling over and coming to a rest on its top in the grassy area between Turnstone Lane and Highway 101 about a half-mile west of the River Road exit.
