VADER WRECK FOLLOW UP

• It’s still unclear what caused the fatal wreck yesterday in Vader that left a 70-year-old driver from Oregon dead. Responders said the car coming down Winlock-Vader Road failed to stop at a stop sign, crossed state Route 506 and crashed into a concrete wall. The name of the man, from Cottage Grove, has not yet been released, as the coroner is still waiting to make positive identification. A 12-year-old cocker spaniel who was with him survived, and was taken to a veterinary hospital. The dog was traveling in a crate, but it was soft sided, according to Lewis County Animal Shelter Manager Amy Hanson. Hanson said unfortunately he has severe spinal injuries, serious enough that even with treatment from a specialist, his quality of life would be extremely poor. “We were able to get in touch with the gentleman’s ex-wife, and she’s not able to provide that care,” she said.
