SEQUIM — A Port Angeles pedestrian was hospitalized after running into a car on U.S. Highway 101 east of the River Road overpass near Sequim, authorities said.
Colin J. Konopaski, 29, of Port Angeles was listed in satisfactory condition Wednesday at Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Amanda N. Chan, 33, of Port Angeles was driving a 2014 Mini Cooper westbound on Highway 101 at 6:14 p.m. Tuesday, the State Patrol said.
Konopaski ran northbound across the highway from the median between the on-ramp and the highway and struck the Mini Cooper on the driver’s side, the report said.
The westbound lane was closed for about an hour while Clallam County Fire District No. 3 paramedics treated Konopaski and State Patrol troopers investigated the incident.
Neither Chan nor a juvenile passenger in the car was injured, according to the State Patrol.
The cause of the wreck was a pedestrian in the roadway, the State Patrol said, adding that possible charges against the pedestrian are under investigation.
Drugs or alcohol were likely involved in the collision, the State Patrol said.
Chan was not cited.
