GARDINER — A Port Hadlock woman and a child were killed in a car crash on Highway 101 Friday evening.
33-year-old Shayla Umphenour, and a 7-year-old boy in the car with her, died at the scene on 101 near Old Gardiner Road in Jefferson County.
According to a State Patrol memo on the accident, Umphenour swerved to avoid traffic that slowed in front of her. Her Honda Civic crossed the center line and hit head on with an oncoming Buick Enclave driven by Elizabeth McDaniel of Sequim. McDaniel was injured and taken to Jefferson General Hospital.
Troopers report Umphenour and the child were not wearing seatbelts.
Authorities withheld the name of the child because he was a juvenile.
The accident and investigation shut down Highway 101 for nearly three hours.
