One driver involved in a serious head on crash on Trent Avenue near Harvard Road Thursday afternoon has been released from the hospital and the other is listed in satisfactory condition. Gerardo Martinez Rodriguez, 37, was driving west on Trent in a Chevy Silverado when he crossed the center line and hit a dump truck driven by Shannon Coberly, 60, head on, the Washington State Patrol reported. Both drivers had to be extricated from their vehicles and Rodriguez was taken to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center by helicopter.
