SHINE — A Chimacum man was in serious condition in a Seattle intensive care unit Wednesday after a wreck on state Highway 104 on Tuesday night.
Ian A. Stark, 31, of Chimacum was in serious but improving condition at Harborview Medical Center after the 7:14 p.m. wreck, a hospital spokesman said Wednesday.
A State Patrol report said Stark, who was driving a turquoise 1994 Toyota Celica, was traveling westbound in the left lane at a high rate of speed on state Highway 104, just west of the Hood Canal Bridge.
Serena C. Prah-Shan, 41, of Quilcene was driving a gray 1992 Chevrolet pickup truck westbound in the right lane at the same location.
Stark changed lanes into the right lane and the Toyota struck the pickup, pushing it into the westbound ditch, the State Patrol said.
The Toyota came to rest under the back end of the pickup truck, the report said.
Prah-Shan was not hurt, troopers said.
Stark’s car was destroyed, the State Patrol said, while Prah-Shan’s pickup suffered reportable damage.
The cause of the wreck was under investigation, the State Patrol said, adding that a possible citation was pending.
Both drivers were wearing seat belts; there was no indication drugs or alcohol contributed to the wreck, the report said.
