Sequim man injured in Morse Creek collision

PORT ANGELES — A Sequim man was injured Sunday when the pickup he was driving was sideswiped on U.S. Highway 101 east of Port Angeles, the State Patrol said.

James N. Tassie, 35, was taken to Olympic Medical Center after the rollover crash near Morse Creek, troopers said.

His condition was not immediately available Monday.

The State Patrol said Tassie was driving eastbound in a 1985 Chevrolet S10 when he was struck by a 2012 Toyota Tundra driven by Devon A. Horn, 25, of Sequim at about 4:39 p.m.

Horn and two passengers, Autumn C. Horn, 25, and a 7-year-old girl, were not injured, troopers said.

The State Patrol said Devon Horn was driving eastbound in the right lane and failed to yield as he merged when the lane came to an end.

Devon Horn was cited with improper lane use, troopers said in a collision memo.

Tassie was the lone occupant of the S10, which was destroyed in the crash.

All four people were wearing seat belts, troopers said.

Drugs or alcohol were not believed to be involved, according to the State Patrol.

The roadway was partially blocked from 5:14 p.m. to 6:08 p.m., the state Department of Transportation said.

Kyle Zimmerman, co-owner of The Hub at Front and Lincoln streets in downtown Port Angeles, adds a new coat of paint on Wednesday to an advertising sign on the back of his building that was uncovered during the demolition of a derelict building that once hid the sign from view. Zimmerman said The Hub, formerly Mathews Glass and Howe's Garage before that, is being converted to an artist's workspace and entertainment venue with an opening set for late May or early June. Although The Hub will have no control over any new construction that might later hide the automotive signs, Zimmerman said restoring the paint is an interesting addition to the downtown area for as long as it lasts.
