SEQUIM — A chain-reaction crash involving two cars, a van and a pickup truck fouled traffic on a rain-slicked U.S. Highway 101 Sunday afternoon.
The arterial highway was closed for more than an hour near Sequim Bay State Park.
Even after the two-lane road — with no detour — was reopened about 12:20 p.m., eastbound traffic was backed up almost to Agnew about six miles away.
A long line of cars was reported extending east from the crash scene toward the Jefferson County line.
One person was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for internal injuries.
No report on her condition was available Sunday evening.
Another person was reported in stable condition at Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles.
Others were treated and released.
The collisions occurred shortly after 11 a.m. on Highway 101, a winding stretch of two-lane highway at the intersection of Louella Road near the entrance to Sequim Bay State Park, about four miles east of Sequim.
