Two teenagers were injured in a one-vehicle accident Friday evening on Highway 141 Alternate north of Underwood. According to the Washington State Patrol, the car driven by an 18-year-old White Salmon woman was traveling northbound at milepost 6 when it veered onto the northbound shoulder, overcorrected, and rolled off the southbound embankment into the White Salmon River. A witness said people helped pulled the teens up the cliff with a rope before emergency vehicles got there. The WSP says both the young woman and a 16-year-old male from Hood River who was also in the vehicle were taken to Skyline Hospital in White Salmon for treatment of injuries.

BreezeBy account holders can use approved safe methods to check their accounts such as the official BreezeBy website or the BreezeBy app available from the Apple App Store or Google Play. If you receive an unexpected text regarding tolls you can also call the Port of Hood River directly at 541-386-1645. Those who receive a fraudulent text can file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.

Klickitat County Commissioners Agree On Jail Questions For Sheriff
Klickitat County Commissioners Tuesday morning reached consensus on four pages of questions to ask Sheriff Bob Songer about the County Jail. The question list was developed by Commissioner Jacob Anderson and given to Commission Chair Lori Zoller to work with Songer and his staff to get answered. Commissioner Dan Christopher said after reviewing them that most of them “were not outlandish,” but added the detail involved would be difficult to get answered within the week Anderson suggested, and Zoller thought that wasn’t enough time. Songer said he was willing to work with the Commissioners on getting the answers, as long as there wasn’t a time frame placed on them that would make the sheriff’s department and its employees look bad. County Human Resources and Administrative Services Department Director Robb Van Cleave told Commissioners there are literally hundreds of tasks being worked on based on a motion approved at a special meeting on March 29 that would head toward closing the jail.
