A spinout and collision on state Highway 503 just north of Battle Ground early Saturday left an Amboy man in critical condition and sent another passenger and both drivers to a Vancouver hospital.
Richard V. Owens, 21, of Amboy remained hospitalized late Saturday at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center.
His leg and sacrum (tailbone, or the base of the spine) were fractures and a lung collapsed in a crash shortly before 1 a.m., the Washington State Patrol said.
A 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer driven by Manuel C. Lomeli, 22, of Vancouver was southbound on the Lewisville Highway, near Northeast 269th Street and the Lewisville One Stop market, when it veered to the right and struck a ditch, the WSP said.
The Lancer spun back onto the highway and into the northbound lane, where it was struck from the rear by a 2001 GMC 2500 pickup driven by Ryan A. Patterson of Battle Ground.
