SEQUIM — Police are investigating the cause of a two-vehicle crash Monday night on North Fifth Avenue that sent a pickup truck into the front porch of a mobile home, causing minor injuries to the driver.
Residents in the mobile home at 201 N. Fifth Ave, Space 33 — one of whom was in the living room during the 6:07 p.m. collision — were not injured, said Patrick Young, Clallam County Fire District No. 3 spokesman.
Mary Moulton, 61, of Sequim was driving an F-150 Ford pickup truck as she crossed North Sequim Avenue at the intersection of Spruce Street when she struck a Ford Expedition driven by LeAnn Nestor, 42, whose vehicle was southbound on North Fifth Avenue, Sequim Police Lt. Sheri Crain said.
Nestor was treated at Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles and was discharged by Tuesday, hospital personnel said.
Moulton was evaluated but was not treated or transported, Young said.
The force of the collision sent the truck across the intersection and into the front of the home.
The crash damaged the porch and front wall of the home’s living room.
The damage was not enough to keep the residents from continuing to live in it, Young said.
“The person in the truck had her foot still on the accelerator, and that’s when she went into the house,” Crain said, adding that she did not know if a citation would be issued in the crash.
All fire units cleared the scene at 6:45 p.m., but the intersection remained closed while tow trucks removed the vehicles, Young said.
