Two people were seriously injured Monday morning in a three-vehicle traffic
crash on Highway 101 north of Gearhart in Clatsop County. Oregon State Police
(OSP) is conducting the investigation.
According to Sergeant Tim Schwartz, on August 26, 2013 at approximately
11:45 a.m., a Ford F350 pickup driven by ELIAS URDAHL, age 28, from Shelton,
Washington, was northbound on Highway 101 near milepost 14 slowing to a stop for
traffic ahead when it was struck from behind by an International equipment truck
driven by CRAIG FRUEHLING, age 26, from Naselle, Washington, also trying to slow
down. The impact pushed the Ford pickup into the southbound lane where it
collided with a Chevrolet Impala driven by FELICIA CONLEY, age 52, from
Longview, Washington. The pickup and passenger car came to rest in grass along
the highway shoulder.
CONLEY and passenger JYME CLAYBERG, age 72, from Longview, were both
transported by Medix ambulance to Columbia Memorial Hospital in Astoria with
serious, non-life threatening injuries.
FRUEHLING and URDAHL declined medical treatment.
All persons were using safety restraints.
OSP was assisted at the scene by Gearhart Fire Department, ODOT and Medix
ambulance. No citations issued at this time.
