Medical event causes man to crash vehicle on Highway 101 north of Brinnon

BRINNON — A medical emergency resulted in a rollover wreck on U.S. Highway 101 near Mount Walker Lookout Road on Sunday morning.

Leonard D. George, 62, of Lacey was in serious condition in Harborview Medical Center’s emergency room Sunday afternoon, according to a Harborview spokeswoman.

George was not injured in the wreck but was airlifted to Harborview for treatment of the medical condition that caused the wreck to take place, according to a State Patrol report.

Details on the nature of the medical emergency were not available Sunday.

According to the State Patrol, George was driving a red Subaru Forester north on Highway 101 near Milepost 299 north of Brinnon at about 9:45 a.m.

The Subaru went off the road into the northbound ditch and struck a large boulder, spun around, then rolled onto its roof in the ditch.

George was trapped in the vehicle and had to be extracted by emergency responders from the Brinnon Fire Department.

The Subaru was totaled and impounded at All City Towing.
