Four Injured In Accident At Highway 14/97 Junction

Four people were taken to hospitals, with two taken by LifeFlight to Portland hospitals, after a two-vehicle accident at the junction of Highways 97 and 14 north of Maryhill on Tuesday morning.  According to a Washington State Patrol report, an SUV was northbound on Highway 97 at Highway 14 and failed to top, striking a car going east on Highway 14.  The SUV rolled and came to rest in the westbound ditch, while the car spun around and came to rest in the westbound lane.  The WSP says the driver of the car, 55-year-old Gary Lewis of Goldendale, was first taken to Mid-Columbia Medical Center in The Dalles and then flown to Oregon Health Sciences University Hospital.  His passenger, a 29-year-old Goldendale man, was also taken to MCMC.  The occupants of the car, a 54-year-old man from Hattiesburg, Mississippi and a 34-year-old man from Goldendale, were taken to Klickitat Valley Hospital in Goldendale with the 34-year-old flown to Emanuel Hospital in Portland.  The WSP report indicated Lewis would be charged with vehicular assault and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.
