PORT ANGELES — A Port Angeles man was treated and discharged from Olympic Medical Center and the State Patrol will recommend a charge of vehicular assault for another driver after a collision on U.S. Highway 101 west of East Kolonels Way.

Jeff J. Holland, 55, of Port Angeles was hurt in the wreck at 7:53 p.m. Thursday.

The State Patrol said that a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu driven by Amber N. Gallauher, 28, of Sequim was headed west and turned left in front of a Toyota 4Runner driven by Holland.
