CRITICAL INJURY TRAFFIC CRASH - HIGHWAY 42 WEST OF WINSTON
Posted: July 19th, 2010 3:50 PM
Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers from the Roseburg Area Command office are continuing the investigation into a single vehicle critical injury crash Monday morning on Highway 42 about three miles west of the scene of an earlier fatal traffic crash near Winston. Information about the fatal crash is the subject of a separate news release.
According to OSP Lieutenant Doug Ladd, on July 19, 2010 at approximately 10:50 a.m. a 1976 Chevrolet van driven by ADELLA J. HOOD, age 70, from Camas Valley, was eastbound on Highway 42 near milepost 68 in the area of Hoover Hill Road. For unknown reasons, the van traveled off the south side of the highway and up an embankment. HOOD was ejected from the van and she came to rest several feet away. The van did not roll.
HOOD was not using safety restraints and investigating troopers noted the driver's door appeared to not be properly secured as it was held in place by a bungee cord. She was transported to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland with critical injuries.
Two passengers in the van whose names are not available had minor injuries. No other information or photographs available at this time.
