LEAVENWORTH â Two Leavenworth residents were hospitalized after separate Chumstick Highway incidents Tuesday and early Wednesday.
A 21-year-old lost control on a straightaway and rolled off of Chumstick at about 8:15 a.m. Tuesday, said Jason Reinfeld with the Chelan County Sheriffâs Office.
The driver hit a utility pole, went through a guard rail, rolled once andthen landed driver-side down in a creek roughly two feet deep.
Medical crews took him to Cascade Medical Center for hypothermia, he said. No other injuries were reported.
A 19-year-old was pinned under his car shortly after midnight Wednesday in the 13000 block of Chumstick, he said. The man was trying to remove a cone stuck in the wheel well of his car when it slid on ice and pinned both his legs.
