Location: Highway 224 and SE 197th Avenue, Carver, OR
Type: Car Accident
Outcome: 3 Minor Injuries
Names: Alexandria Anderson, Tammy Lynn Wissman, David Hensley
Three people were injured in a two-vehicle car crash this morning on Highway 224 near Carver. According to a Salem-News.com report, 24-year-old Canby resident Alexandria Anderson was driving westbound on Highway 224 in a 1977 Volkswagen Beetle convertible when she lost control around a curve in the road. The Volkswagen then drifted into the eastbound lane, slamming into the passenger side of a Jeep Sahara SUV driven by Tammy Lynn Wissman of Boring.
The force of the collision caused the Jeep to roll onto its top, while Anderson’s vehicle toppled off the road and down an 80 foot embankment. Anderson was transported by American Medical Response via High Angle Rescue to Oregon Health Sciences University for treatment, though her injuries did not appear to be life-threatening. Wissman’s passenger, David P. Hensley, was also injured in the crash and taken to Mt. Hood Medical Center. Wissman refused medical transport, though she did sustain minor injuries from the collision.
While we are extremely relieved that the injuries from this collision were not more serious, our thoughts remain with the crash victims. We pray that each of them makes a quick and complete recovery.
It is unclear from this report whether or not Anderson was speeding at the time of the crash, or if there were other factors that caused her to lose control of her vehicle.
