A pair of Chehalis residents were airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after a single-vehicle wreck last night on Centralia-Alpha Road.
Riley R. Jones and Ashley R. Dour, both 23 years old, suffered head and chest trauma, according to the Washington State Patrol.
They are both listed in serious condition this morning, and in the intensive care unit at the hospital.
Troopers and aid called just after 11:30 p.m. to the 1100 block of Centralia-Alpha Road – near Logan Hill Road, east of Chehalis – found a 1996 Dodge Intrepid totaled and two patients.
The car had been heading eastbound when it crossed the centerline and traveled approximately 200 feet along a ditch striking two driveways and going airborne, according to the state patrol. The car hit several trees before coming on rest on its side about 20 feet off the road, the state patrol reported.
The driver, Jones, was wearing a seatbelt but Dour was not, according to the investigating trooper.
The state patrol reports drugs or alcohol were believed to be involved.
