Saturday snowfall causes injury accident near Shawnee

Drivers of two cars involved in a head-on collision south of Colfax Saturday morning were hospitalized in Spokane. Volunteers had to extricate one of the drivers from the wrecked sedan.

Narinder Kaur, 47, Pullman, sustained possible internal injuries and injuries to both legs. She was taken by Colfax Ambulance to Whitman Hospital for emergency treatment and then taken on to Sacred Heart Medical Center.

Jay T. Cady, 54, Yakima, sustained leg injuries and had to be extricated. He was taken to Whitman Hospital for initial treatment. He was later relayed by the MedStar ambulance to Sacred Heart.

According to the Washington State Patrol accident report, Kaur was driving a 2007 Toyota Rav4 northbound at 10:03 a.m. in snow and slushy conditions. The Rav4 went into the southbound lane and collided with a 2006 Subaru Outback wagon being driven south by Cady.

Fifteen minutes after the collision on Highway 195, officers were dispatched to an accident on Highway 26 near mile marker 115 in the Dusty area. Kamerson A. Ross, 21, Newport, and Trevor Bosley, 22, Yakima, were both driving westbound. Driving a 1995 Ford Ranger pickup, Ross slowed for traffic and began to slide sideways. Bosley, driving a 2001 Dodge Ram pickup, was unable to stop and hit the right side of the Ranger. Neither driver was hurt.
