W c sn sh pc c sh s pc s sh pc s s r s r c c c c sh c s c c Three highway crashes occurred Wednesday night, two of which were due to icy roads. A 2016 Kenworth semitruck collided with a 2003 Chevrolet pickup on U.S. Highway 26 near the Sunset Rest Area about 4:30 p.m., causing the pickup to catch fire. The truck was traveling west in the slow lane and hauling a trailer loaded with fuel. The driver of the pickup — traveling east — lost con- trol, crossed the center line, struck the semitruck, rotated back across the highway and came to rest on the eastbound shoulder. Onlookers pulled the driver — Daniel James Wells, 28, of Beaverton — from the pickup as it became engulfed in flames. Elsie Fire and Res- cue then extinguished the fire. Both Wells and the passenger — Aaron Daniel Sullivan, 28, of Tigard — were taken to the hospital with serious injuries, according to Oregon State Police. A little more than an hour later near the same spot, the driver of a Toyota Camry trav- eling westbound lost control, skidded off the roadway and rolled. Three other passengers were in the car, including two young children. Minor inju- ries were reported. A man was hauling hay and traveling west on U.S. Highway 30 near Brad- ley Wayside when the trailer became detached just after 5 p.m. The trailer then col- lided with another car travel- ing eastbound. The eastbound car sustained significant dam- age, and the driver and three passengers were taken to a hospital. The driver hauling hay and one passenger were unin- jured. State police cited the uninjured driver for failure to keep in the right lane and fail- ure to renew registration. Recreational crabbing is now open along the coast from the Columbia River down to Cape Blanco in southern Oregon. Crab samples indicated that domoic acid levels have decreased, according to the state Department of Agricul- ture and Department of Fish and Wildlife, which monitor the marine biotoxin. The reopening applies to crab harvested in the ocean, bays and estuaries, beaches, docks, piers and jetties. Crab- bing in areas south of Cape Blanco remains closed. Crabs viscera and guts, also known as the “butter,” should not be consumed, officials said. Crab and shellfish sold in stores and restaurants are still safe for consumers.
