SEQUIM — A Sequim Middle School student, critically injured in a car crash after her all-star team competed in a softball tournament, remained on life-support Monday night.

KayDee Campbell, 13, was riding in a car driven by 45-year-old Raymond Chipman when it struck a utility pole just after 4 p.m. Saturday on State Route 169 near Cedar Road in Maple Valley.

KayDee was a member of the Sequim Girls Junior Fastpitch All-Star team, which had just won three games at a state tournament in Snoqualmie to qualify for the finals on Wednesday.

The girl suffered extensive injuries and was on life-support at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, her paternal grandmother, Betty Kennedy of Olalla, said Monday.

KayDee’s mother, Ronda Chrisman-Campbell, was also injured in the crash.

Both were airlifted to Harborview, where Chrisman-Campbell was listed in satisfactory condition Monday.
