PORT ANGELES — A Port Angeles resident involved in a Sept. 28 wreck near Lake Sutherland has been released from a Seattle hospital.
Joy L. Wetterlund, 29, was released from Harborview Medical Center in Seattle on Oct. 2, according to hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg.
A passenger in one of two vehicles that collided in the crash, she was the most seriously injured of the three people involved.
Ryan V. Wetterlund, 29, also of Port Angeles, was treated and discharged from Olympic Medical Center the day of the crash.
Wetterlund attempted to turn left onto Thompson Point Road near Lake Sutherland, 13 miles west of Port Angeles, while headed west in a white 2004 Ford Ranger on U.S. Highway 101 at about 11:45 a.m.
The pickup truck collided in the eastbound lane with a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu being driven by Port Angeles resident Scott Lee Penson, 55.
Penson was treated and discharged from OMC the day of the crash.
Joy Wetterlund was flown to Harborview after the wreck.
Neither alcohol nor drugs were suspected as contributing to the wreck, according to the State Patrol.
Ryan Wetterlund has been cited for failure to yield, according to the report.
Birding kits
