QUILCENE — A mother and son remained in a Seattle hospital Tuesday as they recovered from injuries received in a Monday rollover wreck.
Cynthia Nevermiss-ashot, 53, was in the intensive care unit in serious but improving condition, and Wambli Nevermissashot, 23, was in satisfactory condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, said a Harborview spokeswoman.
The two Quilcene residents were airlifted from the wreck scene Monday afternoon.
Wambli Nevermissashot will be cited for failure to yield and for driving with a suspended license, Trooper Russ Winger, spokesman for the State Patrol, said Tuesday.
No information is available about an unnamed 2-year-old child who was in the car with them. The child was taken by ambulance to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton.
Harrison policy prevents information about a minor from being released without parental consent, a Harrison spokesman said.
State Patrol reported that at about 1:45 p.m. Wambli Nevermissashot was driving a gray Jeep SUV with two passengers: Cynthia Nevermissashot and the toddler.
Wambli Nevermissashot attempted to make a left turn from a residential driveway onto northbound U.S. Highway 101 near Leland Valley Cutoff Road north of Quilcene.
Ronald Watson, 49, of Oregon City, Ore., was driving a fully loaded asphalt dump truck and trailer southbound on Highway 101 and was unable to stop his truck before hitting the Jeep broadside.
The Jeep rolled and landed in a roadside ditch, passenger-side-down.
Firefighters extricated the family from the vehicle and established a helicopter landing zone for the two more seriously injured adults.
Watson declined treatment at the scene.
There was no suspicion of drugs or alcohol being involved in the wreck, the State Patrol said.
Winger said it was uncertain if the two adults were using seat belts. The child was restrained at the time of the wreck.
The road was fully closed for about two hours, and one lane was open to alternating traffic for several hours.
