Alexsandrina Hyer was driving southbound on U.S. Highway 97 at about 3 p.m. when she attempted to pass a semi-trailer, but failed to yield, striking a northbound car head-on. Hyer was injured and taken to Klickitat Valley Hospital. The four children that were riding in Hyer's car were all injured. A 12-year-old girl was flown to Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital, an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old were taken to Mid Columbia Medical Center in the Dalles, Oregon, and a 6-year-old was taken to Klickitat Valley Hospital as well.
It was about 2:00am when a male driver in his 20's was driving east on Madison Avenue, but was more focused on the burrito he was eating than on the road, and ended up veering into the median, rolling several times, and finally coming to rest in the eastbound lanes of the road. The man was tranported to the hospital, though his injuries were described as minor. Investigators also believe that the man was going over the speed limit when he crashed.
