CRITICAL INJURY TRAFFIC CRASH - HIGHWAY 62 EAST OF MEDFORD
Posted: August 15th, 2010 8:43 PM
A 43-year old Trail-area woman was critically injured Sunday afternoon in a roll over crash on Highway 62 about twenty-five miles east of Medford.
According to Oregon State Police (OSP) Sergeant Mark Byrd, on August 15, 2010 at approximately 2:46 p.m. a 1994 Ford Explorer driven by KRYSTAL CARRELL, age 434, from Trail, was eastbound on Highway 62 near milepost 30 when, for an unknown reason, it crossed into the westbound lane where another vehicle with three occupants inside was able to swerve and avoid a collision. The Ford Explorer came back onto the highway and rolled at least two times before coming to rest on its stop on the eastbound shoulder.
An OSP Fish and Wildlife trooper arrived within minutes of the crash and initiated coordination of additional emergency response and medical care. CARRELL was subsequently transported to Rogue Valley Medical Center by Mercy Flights ground ambulance. Safety restraint use information not avialable at this time.
After swerving to avoid CARRELL's vehicle, the westbound 2005 Ford Escape driven by ANDREW MICHAEL DEGRECO, age 22, from Corvallis, collided with a fog marker.
OSP troopers from the Central Point Area Command office are continuing the investigation. Jackson County Sheriff's Office deputies, ODOT and local emergency responders assisted at the scene.
