PORT TOWNSEND — A Port Townsend woman was upgraded from serious to satisfactory condition Thursday at Harborview Medical Center following a Wednesday car wreck.
Airlifted to hospital
Angela M. Guevara, 47, was airlifted to the Seattle hospital with injuries from a one-vehicle wreck on state Highway 19.
The cause of the wreck was wheels off the roadway, the State Patrol said, adding that a driving-under-the-influence citation is expected against Guevara.
No drugs, alcohol
Drugs or alcohol were involved in the wreck, the State Patrol said.
A State Patrol report said Guevara was driving north on the highway near Milepost 13, about 4 miles south of Port Townsend, when her 1993 Toyota Corolla crossed the centerline at 7:34 p.m.

The Toyota left the roadway and crashed into the brush on the southbound side, coming to rest on its side.
The southbound lane was blocked for approximately two hours, according to State Patrol.
Guevara’s car was destroyed and impounded by Northwest Towing, the State Patrol said.
No other vehicles were involved.
