"(SHERWOOD, Ore.) - Today at 12:06pm, Washington County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to a crash on Highway 99W and SW Chapman Road. This area is in unincorporated Washington County south of the city of Sherwood.

Upon arrival deputies determined 38-year-old Dale Lissner of Tigard was crossing Highway 99W traveling east from SW Chapman Road.

As he crossed Highway 99W, he pulled out in front of a pickup driven by 39-year-old Eric Stocking of Newberg. As he crossed the highway, he was hit by the pickup. The force of the crash spun the Nissan and it came to rest in the center median. Both vehicles sustained significant damage.

Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue had to extricate Mr. Lissner from his vehicle. He sustained lifethreatening injuries and was sent by Life Flight to OHSU. Highway 99W south was closed for about 30-minutes. The driver of the pickup sustained only minor injuries. The investigation is on going and no citations have been issues at this time."

"BOISE, Idaho - A three car crash Wednesday morning was caused by a 70-year-old woman who was apparently trying to kill herself by driving into oncoming traffic, the Ada County, Idaho, Sheriff's Office says.

The crash occurred around 10:30 a.m. near the intersection of State Street and Bogart Lane.

The sheriff's office says the woman from Eagle, Idaho, was driving a Buick LaCrosse eastbound on State State when she swerved into oncoming traffic and attempted to hit an oncoming vehicle. The two cars missed each other and the Buick returned to the proper lane.

But as the woman approached Bogart Lane, she again swerved into oncoming traffic and collided with a Ford F-250 pickup truck, causing it to roll.

The 64-year-old driver of the truck was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle. He is currently in the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Doctor's say he is expected to survive, but he remains in critical condition.

The sheriff's office says after the Buick hit the Ford truck, it then also struck the Dodge pickup truck that was driving behind the Ford. The 16-year-old driver of the Dodge was treated for minor injuries at the hospital and released.

Officials say the 70-year-old driver of the Buick was also taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Investigators say she told them she intentionally drove into oncoming traffic to attempt to kill herself.

The sheriff's office says that charges are pending against the 70-year-old woman, and that after its investigation it will forward that information to the prosecutor's office.

The woman's name is being withheld until charges have been filed."

"There were no injuries reported from a two-vehicle wreck that occurred on Turner McCall Boulevard near its intersection with East Ninth Street on Saturday at about 5:20 p.m.

Rome police and Rome-Floyd Fire Department officials responded to the wreck.

According to Pfc. Aaron Thacker:

Kara Winters, 26, of an Alabama Highway address, was driving her dark blue Toyota 4-Runner south on Turner McCall and tried to turn left onto East Ninth Street. She had stopped in the turning lane when Shane Woody, of a Calhoun Road address, was heading south in his older model Dodge Dakota truck, drifted into the turning lane and clipped her rear passenger’s side.

Woody’s truck traveled an estimated 30 yards before he ran head-on into a ditch.

Both Winters and Woody were unhurt from the wreck as well as Woody’s passenger, 20-year-old Melissa Hance.

Thacker said a small child was in the truck with Woody and Hance and was upset by the wreck, but didn’t appear to be injured. She was taken to Floyd Medical Center for a check-up.

Woody was cited with improper lane usage"

Three injured in Monday morning crash near Michigan's Adventure Amusement Park.

Date: 08/08/2011
Time: Around 11:00 A.M.
Location: Dalton Township, Michigan
Vehicle(s) Involved: Chevy Cobalt, Dodge Dakota

"A crash at the intersection of Russell and Riley-Thompson roads in Muskegon County's Dalton Township shortly after 11 a.m. Monday sent three people to Mercy General Health Partners' Hackley Campus, police said.

The extent of the three crash victims' injuries was not immediately available.

Muskegon County Sheriff Dean Roesler said the crash occurred when a young Detroit-area man driving a Chevy Impala north on Russell turned left on Riley-Thompson, into the path of a southbound Dodge Dakota pickup truck driven by a Muskegon-area woman.

The Muskegon-area woman was alone in her vehicle. The Detroit-area man had a young female passenger, also from the Detroit area, in the vehicle with him. All three were transported to the hospital, Roesler said.

The crash tied up traffic — presumably much of it headed for Michigan's Adventure Amusement Park, which is two miles west of the accident scene. The amusement park opens at 11 a.m.

Police blocked off traffic headed north on Russell. Vehicles exiting U.S. 31 and headed north were diverted to another route.

The intersection of Russell and Riley-Thompson is marked with a full stoplight.

Roesler said authorities this morning were trying to locate witnesses to the accident. They thought that someone, possibly a doctor or nurse, had stopped to check on the crash victims, then left as emergency medical personnel arrived. Roesler said authorities would like to talk to that person, or any other people who may have seen the crash.

Anyone with information is asked to call Deputy Kendall Jeppesen at 724-7114."
