GOLDENDALE — A Toledo, Wash., man was in serious condition after crashing his car into a semi in Goldendale on Thursday morning, authorities said.
Donald C. Smith, 67, was flown to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland. He was being treated for head and cervical injuries, according to a news release from the Washington State Patrol.
The crash was reported about 9:55 a.m. at the intersection of Simcoe Drive and South Columbus Avenue in Goldendale.
State troopers said Smith was headed south on Columbus in a Pontiac car when he made a left turn onto Simcoe, where he struck the left front of the Peterbilt tractor. The semi, driven by 41-year-old Peter Dennis of White Salmon, was northbound on Columbus.
Dennis was not hurt.
Both drivers were wearing seat belts. Intoxicants were not suspected.
Troopers said they expected to give Smith a ticket for failing to yield.
The car was destroyed. The semi was driven from the scene.
