Seven-Car Accident Near Camas Kills One, Injures Carson Woman

One person is dead and two others, including a Carson woman, were sent to the hospital after a seven-car crash Thursday afternoon involving a manufactured home stuck on Highway 14’s Camas Slough Bridge.  According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, the manufactured home being transported by semi-truck caused the westbound lane of Highway 14 at milepost 15 to close down.  A Washington State Police trooper posted on social media that the accident happened after someone stuck behind the manufactured home tried to perform a U-turn.  The WSP says that car was struck by an on-coming truck, which pushed the car into four other vehicles.  The WSP says the driver of the car that performed the U-turn, 68-year-old Willard Strickland of Washougal, was killed.  One of the drivers of the other vehicles, 34-year-old Brandy Demchuk of Carson, was taken to Peace Health Southwest Medical Center for treatment of injuries.
