Port Angeles woman, passenger hurt in vehicle wreck near Bremerton - Peninsula Daily
BREMERTON — A Port Angeles woman and her passenger were treated and discharged from a hospital after a wreck near Bremerton on Thursday morning when she lost control of her pickup truck and collided with a tractor-trailer rig. Huberta Jane Meadows, 48, of Port Angeles and a passenger in her Ford F250 pickup were taken to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton after the 6:57 a. m. wreck, said Trooper Russ Winger, State Patrol spokesman. A State Patrol investigation determined the wreck was caused by overcorrection on the part of Meadows, and she was cited for improper lane travel, Winger said. Meadows was driving a blue 2001 Ford F250 truck, towing a 19-foot camper trailer, southbound on Highway 3 in the left lane about 1 mile north of Bremerton when she passed a yellow 1995 Clement tractor-trailer driven by Daniel Lovell Blue, 61, of... The maneuver caused the Ford to swerve, and Meadows lost control. A passenger in the Ford grabbed the steering wheel in an attempt to assist the driver and overcorrected, causing the pickup to collide with the tractor-trailer, according to the memo. The Ford came to rest on its side as the camper trailer came loose, landing about 100 feet south of the pickup, the State Patrol said. Source: www.peninsuladailynews.com
