MARYSVILLE — A woman was seriously injured Tuesday when her car collided with a delivery truck at the intersection of 128th Street NE and State Avenue, police said Wednesday.
The woman, 33, was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after the crash, which happened shortly before 4:30 p.m., Marysville Police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux said.
The woman suffered a fractured skull, fractured hip, bruised lung and other injuries, and was helped by two motorists before firefighters arrived, Marysville Fire Department spokesmen Nathan Trauernicht said.
David Osborn and Wayne Beaver climbed into the woman’s car to try to immobilize her spine to prevent further injury and to gently move her head into a position where she could breathe, Trauernicht said. "They deserve to be commended for their actions," he said.
The truck driver was not injured.
