A hospital spokeswoman said Skye Calhoun, the driver, is in critical condition and Alexandria Bachmeier is in serious condition.

Washington State Patrol trooper Brandy Kessler said the crash happened at 7 a.m. on Morris Road just south of 110th Avenue in Yelm.

Calhoun was heading northbound on Morris Road in her 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass, driving at a speed too fast for the wet road conditions, when she crossed over the center line while coming around a curve in the road and hit a 2003 GMC box -type truck head on, Kessler said.

The road was closed while an investigation of the scene was conducted.
