Responders had to use the Jaws of Life to extricate one of the occupants after a car carrying a family of four that wrecked along state Route 6 west of Chehalis yesterday.
Crews from Lewis County Fire Districts 16, 11 and 13 responded to the 12:15 p.m. rollover crash near River Road, about three miles east of Doty, according to authorities.
Injured were driver Kevin D. Beigh, 37, Sarah I. Beigh, 37, Mason T. Beigh, 4, and Alexandria L. Beigh, 15, all from Tenino, according to the Washington State Patrol.
Sarah Beigh is a senior deputy prosecutor with the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office.
Lewis County Fire District 11 Chief Michael Krafczyk said the adult passenger was trapped in the car.
The 1998 Nissan Maxima was traveling eastbound when for whatever reason it left the roadway to the right, struck an embankment, rolled and came to rest on its top, according to the state patrol.
Krafczyk said ambulances from Pe Ell and AMR transported all four to Providence Centralia Hospital. The car was described as totaled.
Lewis County Prosecutor Jonathan Meyer said he talked with Beigh last night and she’s sore and bruised but will be fine. A spokesperson for the hospital said the adult patients were treated and released. No information was made available about the children.
All were wearing seat belts, according to the investigating trooper. The state patrol blamed inattention on the part of the driver. He was cited for wheels off the roadway, according to the state patrol.

He should have gotten a ticket for that amazing mullet and “Git er done” attitude.
He received the same citation that anyone else gets “Wheels Off Road Way” Dumb Ass.
Obviously no one involved was the po po since no one is getting crucified!
