Head-On Crash Sends 7 to Hospital



Tragically, car accidents can sometimes have fatal results. Thus, car crashes can be an extremely serious type of accident. Consequently, it is very important for motorists to drive responsibly when behind the wheel. Recently, an auto collision occurred in Oregon that resulted in a woman’s death. The crash occurred in Portland last Friday. Reportedly, that day, an individual from Camas, Washington was driving a pickup truck west along Northeast Lombard Street. Allegedly, this pickup truck then crossed onto the road’s eastbound side and struck two cars. According to the article on OregonLive.com which reported this story, police are still in the process of investigating this motor vehicle accident. One of the two cars that the pickup truck hit was being driven by a 36-year-old woman from Vancouver, Washington. This woman died as a result of this motor vehicle accident. The accident also reportedly resulted in both the driver of the other car the pickup truck hit and the driver of the pickup truck suffering injuries continue

A family of five was driving west on 2200 North in a Chevrolet sedan when the driver failed to yield where the road merges into Highway 158 and crashed head-on with an eastbound Ford Expedition shortly before 6 p.m., said Weber County Sheriff’s Detective Josh Gard. The crash smashed in the front of the light-blue sedan and spun it around until it faced east on Highway 158. The crash also sent the white Ford Expedition off the road, with damage to the right side of its front end and on the passenger side of the vehicle. The woman who was driving the Ford Expedition and a female passenger were taken to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden with minor to moderate injuries. The mother and father and their three sons, who were in the back seat of the sedan, were taken to McKay-Dee with minor to moderate injuries as well continue

A Norton County woman was arrested after causing a fatal car accident in Nebraska Monday. Authorities say that a 34-year-old woman from Almena, Kansas made an illegal U-turn on Interstate 80 outside of Grand Island, Nebraska, which is about 95 miles west of Lincoln.
The Almena woman’s car clipped a motorcycle’s rear tire upon making the turn, but the 60-year-old motorcyclist avoided crashing. A second collision happened immediately thereafter involving the motorcyclist’s 58-year-old wife. The wife had been following her husband on a second motorcycle about 30 feet behind him and crashed into the Kansas woman’s car. The woman was rushed to St. Francis Medical Center in Grand Island but later died of her injuries. The Kansas woman had five children in the car at the time of the crash, ages 8 to 13, but everyone only suffered minor personal injuries. After being released

Does Secretary of Transportation Richard Davey have the toughest job in state government? Smart and upbeat after nearly a year in the post, Davey still says it’s the best job. But the 39-year-old manager is confronting probably the greatest gap between public expectations and available resources of any service the state provides today. And he represents two warring constituencies — highway drivers and transit commuters — who are blind to their common interests. This week the Legislature coughed up a short-term fix for the MBTA, appropriating $51 million from car inspection fees and unused snow removal funds courtesy of our freakishly mild winter — obviously not a sustainable source of revenue. But just when Davey might have taken a breath, two new studies presented stark evidence of how critically overburdened the state’s public transit system is right now — never mind how poorly equipped it is to meet the demands of a growing economy. And it wasn’t just crunchy continue
