We have an update to an accident we first pushed to our #GHSCanner APP users this Wednesday morning where the Washington State Patrol says that the driver falling asleep at the wheel was the cause. 

The accident occurred at 8:47 am on October 23rd on State Route 12 at mp 28 (near Butler Mill Road) Elma when a black 2003 Volkswagon traveling westbound on State Route 12 went off the roadway to the right after the driver a 49-year-old Montesano woman fell asleep at the wheel.  

No other vehicles were involved, the driver was wearing a seatbelt and was transported to Summit Pacific in Elma for her injuries. 

A 24-year-old Oakville woman died at the scene of a wreck on logging roads in the Capitol State Forest Sunday night, the driver of the vehicle was arrested. The Washington State Patrol reports a 25-year-old Elma man driving a 2013 Ford F250 pickup was also injured and transported to St Peters Hospital with undisclosed injuries.

The truck was Northbound on the Capitol Forest D-Line, about a half-mile north of US Route 12 just after 9 PM Sunday night. The driver failed to negotiate a curve and the truck left the road to the right, went down an embankment, and struck a tree.

The driver was reportedly not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the wreck. The report said that drugs or alcohol were involved.

Arrest records indicate the driver was booked into the Grays Harbor County Jail this morning on the investigation of vehicular homocide charges.

The road was fully blocked for 7 hours overnight while crews worked to remove the vehicle and occupants.
