PORT ANGELES — A Port Angeles woman injured in a wreck Wednesday afternoon was listed in satisfactory condition Thursday at Olympic Medical Center, hospital staff said.
According to the State Patrol, Port Angeles resident Judy C. Wilhelm, 71, was injured and taken to the hospital after a single-vehicle wreck at the Morse Creek curve 3 miles east of the city on U.S. Highway 101.
State Patrol said Wilhelm was driving a beige 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe eastbound on Highway 101 at 2:12 p.m. when she failed to negotiate a curve to the left and departed the roadway, striking a large boulder.
The vehicle rotated and came to rest, blocking both eastbound lanes.
The roadway was partially blocked with alternating traffic allowed in the westbound lanes for roughly four hours.
Wilhelm’s vehicle was destroyed, the State Patrol said.
She was wearing a seat belt at the time of the wreck.
