BRINNON — The State Patrol has little information to work with in identifying a male driver who fled the scene after two women received injuries in a rollover wreck at Bee Mill Road and U.S. Highway 101.
At 11:07 a.m. Sunday, a driver and two passengers in a 2008 Chevrolet Aveo were southbound on Highway 101, 4 miles north of Brinnon, according to a State Patrol report.
The driver lost control on a curve and struck the southbound ditch, causing the Aveo to roll, coming to rest on its top on the southbound shoulder.
He got out of the car and fled, but witnesses were not able to give the State Patrol a clear description of the driver, said Trooper Russ Winger, State Patrol spokesman.
A police dog also was brought in to attempt to track the driver, but he was not found, Winger said.
A Spanish interpreter was brought in for the injured women, he said.
The report said Beatriz A. Sandoval Perez, 33, of Lynnwood and Sandra Ortigoza Martinez, 39, city unknown, were taken by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Sandoval Perez was treated and released, and Martinez was not listed as having been treated, a hospital spokeswoman said Monday.
Highway 101 was limited to alternating traffic from about 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. during the investigation, Winger said.
Pending charges on the unknown driver are expected to include felony hit-and-run and vehicular assault because of to the severity of the injures of the passengers, he said.
Winger said the wreck is still under investigation, and additional charges could be brought against the driver when he is located.
