Mrs. Carol Foster, dean of women at the college, told the Herald and News Friday that Mrs. Thomas was to be released from the hospital that evening or Saturday and would go with her parents to St. Helens, where she would remain about a week be fore returning to classes. Mrs. Foster also said she had talked with Mrs. Thomas' doctor Friday and learned that the pa tient was in "excellent condition." A 23 - year - old Opportunity, Wash., man was credited with saving Mrs. Thomas' life follow ing the spectacular accident. He was Larry Olson, who was sitting in the cab of a truck which had picked him up in Eugene. The driver, whose name Olson didn't learn, was putting chains on the truck before pro ceeding over Willamette Pass when this scene unfolded before him: Olson observed a west bound automobile driven by Mrs. Thomas swerve to avoid colliding with another car that was sliding sideways along the highway in front of the Thomas auto. "She couldn't have been going more than seven to 10 miles an hour when she went over the bank," Olson said. "The car turned sideways and rolled about eight times before it hit bottom," he continued. 'I saw the baby fly out about half-way down the hill and lake couple of somersaults, belore landing on some rocks." As the car reached the bottom of the slope, Mrs. Thomas was thrown from the vehicle into a small creek, with the car finally coming to rest between the banks about two cot above her. Olson scrambled down the em bankment to aid the Injured wom an, while the truck driver picked up the baby and passed the child to a motorist, who took It to me Onkdridge Clinic. Olson found Mrs. Thomas ly ing in the creek with her head un der water she wasn't breathing when I first pulled her out. But she started breathing again al most immediately," Olson said. A physician at the Oakridge Clinic said Olson's quick action saved the woman's lile. Later Wednesday, Olson caught a bus to Reno, where he is employed as a waiter at a hotel.
