07/02/2007: "Four Car Accident Sends Two To Hospital"

Two cars on San Juan Island avoided a head-on collision by side-swiping each other, then both went into a ditch on Madden lane. In an attempt to avoid the accident of the first two, two others also went into a ditch, and while in the ditch ran into each other head-on, but by that time the impact was minimal.

If there is any good news in any of this, it is that only two people were injured to the extent that they needed to be airlifted off of the island to Harbor View for treatment of what may be internal injuries, but not believed to be life threatening..

Sheriff Bill Cumming, told The Island Guardian that alcohol is suspected as having played a role in the accident, and a full investigation of the accident is in progress.
