Washington Driver Hurt In Tumalo-Area Crash

TUMALO, OR -- A Washington woman was hurt in a crash near the Tumalo Cemetery, Tuesday. Deschutes County Sheriff's deputies responded to Cline Falls Highway at about 4:40 p.m. and found a Subaru Forester laying on its driver's side on the southbound shoulder. 

Investigators say the 34-year-old was driving north on Cline Falls Highway when she failed to negotiate a curve. Her car crossed the road and struck a fence and power pole. She was thrown from the vehicle when it rolled on its side. Deputies provided medical care until medics arrived and transported her to St. Charles Bend with serious injuries. 

Investigators say they haven’t yet determined whether speed or alcohol were factors in the crash. DCSO was assisted in the investigation by the Bend Fire Department, the Oregon State Police, Pacific Power, and the Deschutes County Public Works.
