Two Heppner girls were injured,
one seriously, in a one-car accident
around 11:15 a.m. May 12, about
two miles west of Vincent on the
Heppner-Pilot Rock Highway 74.
Cam Brownfield, the daughter of
Steve and Nancy Brownfield of
Heppner, and driver of the vehicle,
received numerous injuries, in
cluding a broken back. Carri has
unstable fractures in two thoracic-
vertebra (backbone). Another
vertebra was indented into her spinal
cord, although there was no evidence
of puncture of the spinal cord, ac
cording to her mother, Nancy. Mrs.
Brownfield said Monday that Carri
is able to move the toes on her right
leg and does have some feeling in
her left leg, although she is not able
to move it.
The passenger in the car, Heather
Eckman, the daughter of Joan
Eckman and David Eckman, both of
Heppner, was treated at St. Anthony
Hospital in Pendleton and released.
Both girls had been taken by am
bulance to St. Anthony Hospital.
From there Carri was airlifted by
helicopter to Emmanual Hospital in
Portland. It was later determined that
Heather had suffered a broken bone
in her hand as a result of the acci
dent. She was also treated at Pioneer
Memorial Clinic.
According to Mrs. Brownfield,
the girls were driving in the
Brownfields’ mini-van from Hepp
ner to a baseball game in Pilot Rock,
when the rear wheel of the van
became caught in gravel. Carri then
lost control of the van and it rolled
three times throwing both girls from
the car. Mrs Brownfield says that
the girls were not wearing seat belts.
First upon the scene were Millie
and John Hanna of Heppner, close
ly followed by Angie Pedro and her
son, Casey, also from Heppner. Ac
cording to Joan Eckman, Angie
Pedro then called for help.
“ We’re really felling optimistic,”
said Mrs. Brownfield. “ We really
are doing OK...Carri’s in a lot of
pain, but she’s a strong person.”
Carri went into surgery Tuesday
morning. She is expected to remain
in the hospital four or five weeks
after surgery.
____
She says that until Carri is
moved to a room, she cannot receive
visitors, calls or flowers. “ We can
feel all of the prayers,” she said.
Carri, 18, is a senior at Heppner
High School and Heather, 17, is a
sophomore.
