Driver seriously injured in Highway 195 rollover crash

From staff reports
A driver on state Highway 195 was seriously injured in a rollover crash Wednesday morning in Spangle. Wynter W. Spencer, 36, was thrown from her vehicle after it rolled and came to a stop in a wheat field. She was transported by helicopter to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center with serious but non-life threatening injuries. Washington State Patrol spokesman Trooper Jeff Sevigney said Spencer was driving north on the highway, got distracted by her radio and drifted onto the right shoulder. She then over-corrected and crossed the center line, hitting a southbound car. She crashed shortly after 9 a.m., just south of Cheney-Spangle Road. She was not wearing a seat belt. A 29-year-old man driving the other vehicle was uninjured and was wearing a seat belt. The southbound lane of Highway 195 was blocked as troopers cleared the collision, but is now open.
