Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers from the Astoria Area Command office are continuing the investigation into a Tuesday afternoon two vehicle crash on Highway 30 about one mile west of Wauna Mill that injured seven persons. All involved were using safety restraints or were in child safety seats.
Updated information from OSP Lieutenant Duane Stanton indicates on July 27, 2010 at approximately 3:40 p.m. a 1997 Buick LeSabre driven by JACOB N. SULLIVAN, age 16, from Kelso, Washington was westbound on Highway 30 near milepost 74 when, for an unknown reason, it traveled across the double solid center line into the left eastbound lane. The right front section of the Buick collided with the right front section of an eastbound 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche driven by HEATHER L. GIBSON, age 29, from Vancouver, Washington.
SULLIVAN and right front passenger LEIGHA R. WARNER, age 16, from Kelso, were transported to Columbia Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. WARNER was later transferred to Legacy Emanuel Hospital. Rear passenger DAVID BAYER, age 16, from Kelso, was transported to St. John Medical Center in Longview with non-life threatening injuries.
The Chevrolet Avalanche had four occupants from Vancouver, Washington transported to different hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.
