ACCIDENT from page 1A A second crew worked on saving Crump and his pas- senger, 32-year-old Nicholas Housego of Bandon. “They used the ‘jaws of life’ to get the two patients out of that vehicle,” Able said. “They had to work in an icy, inclined area with heavy equipment to get the doors open so they could get the two gentlemen out. In all, we had three ambulances there.” All three patients were transported by Western Lane Ambulance to Peace- Health Peace Harbor Hos- pital, where Jones was pro- SEACOAST ENTERTAINMENT ASSOCIATION nounced deceased. Crump and Housego were later transported to PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Cen- ter at RiverBend, where they remain in stable but seri- ous condition, according to Western Lane Ambulance Chief of Operations Matt House. Oregon State Police, Or- egon Department of Trans- portation (ODOT) and Mast Brother’s Towing also as- sisted at the scene. Highway 101 was reduced to one lane of travel for approximate- ly three hours following the crash. “In all, there truly was one team out there with Western Lane and Siuslaw Valley Fire working seamlessly to make sure the patients had the best care possible out there,” Able said. Despite the severe weath- er, the incident was the only major accident reported over the weekend. “People were generally re- maining cautious and stay- ing inside,” Able said. “One of the things I get concerned about is that one person may say, ‘I’m very comfortable driving in the snow and ice,’ but that doesn’t mean the other vehicle is. That’s one of the big issues that we have going on.” Further inclement weather is expected across the Pacif- ic Northwest throughout the week.
