Two hurt in wreck along state Highway 112

A Port Angeles teen was in satisfactory condition at Olympic Medical Center on Thursday after a two-car wreck at the intersection of Camp Hayden Road and state Highway 112.

Cynthia L. Colthorp, 58, was driving a 2000 Toyota Camry westbound on Highway 112 at about 2:45 p.m. Wednesday when 16-year-old Johanna N. Hendrickson tried to turn onto Highway 112 from Camp Hayden Road in a 1998 Ford Escort, the State Patrol said.

Hendrickson pulled out onto the highway in front of Colthorp, the State Patrol said, and the vehicles collided.

Both Port Angeles women were taken to Olympic Medical Center, the State Patrol said, and Colthorp had been treated and discharged as of Thursday.

The State Patrol said Thursday a citation for failure to yield for Hendrickson was pending.

Both cars were destroyed and towed from the scene, the State Patrol said.

Both drivers were wearing their seat belts, it added.
