Two Coos Bay residents were hurt in a three-vehicle accident Friday on Interstate 5 in Eugene.
According to an Oregon State Police press release, at about 11:15 a.m., a 1996 Chevrolet pickup truck pulling a 25-foot travel trailer was northbound on Interstate 5 near milepost 192.
The trailer began to sway and the pickup struck the median barrier. The two vehicles separated and the pickup went over the concrete into the southbound lanes where it landed on the hood of a 2000 Toyota Celica. It then crossed another lane and collided with a 2004 Peterbilt semi-truck.
The driver of the Chevrolet, Wendy Tams, 44, of Coos Bay; and a passenger, Robert Layne, 18, of Coos Bay, were taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center. The driver of the Toyota, Shelby Kytola, 21, of Roseburg, and a passenger, Keely Newman, 18, of Roseburg, were taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center as well.
No information on Tams’ and Layne’s conditions was available.
The Peterbilt driver, Alfonso Perez III, 41, of San Antonio, Texas, declined medical attention, police said.
OSP troopers from the Springfield Area Command office are continuing the investigation.
