Driver hurt in collision

One person was injured in a two-car collision at 9:06 a.m. last Saturday on SR 4 near County Line Park.

According to a report from the Washington State Patrol a 2002 Hundai Elantra driven westbound by Desiree Jensen, Cathlamet, crossed the centerline and collided with an eastbound 2011 Ranger driven by Juanita Irving, also of Cathlamet.

The Elantra left the roadway on the westbound shoulder, struck an embankment and rolled over, coming to rest on its top.

Jensen was transported to St. John Medical Center for treatment of injuries; Irving wasn't injured.

Both drivers were wearing seatbelts. The Elantra was a total loss. The Ranger had reportable damage but was drivable.

The report said Jensen would be charged with reckless driving.
