DISCOVERY BAY — A missed turn led to a wreck that injured two people on U.S. Highway 101 near the interchange with state Highway 104.
According to a State Patrol report, at about 3:50 p.m. Sunday, Jeffrey B. Waters, 53, of North Bend was driving a white 1995 Chevrolet G20 van southbound on Highway 101 just south of Highway 104 when he realized he had missed the exit to Highway 104.
He pulled onto the right shoulder of the highway, then made a U-turn across both lanes, the report said.
Kevin J. Pittenger, 26, of Renton was driving a 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan and towing a utility trailer, also southbound on Highway 101.
Pittenger was unable to stop as the Chevrolet crossed the highway, and he struck the Chevy broadside.
Pittenger, as well as his passenger, Rachel Ann Pittenger, 24, of Renton, were injured and taken to Jefferson Healthcare’s emergency room.
Both Pittengers were treated and released, a Jefferson Healthcare spokeswoman said Monday.
Waters was not injured.
The State Patrol determined that the wreck was caused by Waters, and he was cited for making an unsafe U-turn, according to the report.
