A Rochester man is in satisfactory condition this morning following a Friday night wreck on U.S. Highway 12 at Moon Road that sent him by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

Donald M. Stacy, 57, was airlifted to the Seattle hospital after the three-vehicle collision in Rochester late Friday night.

Troopers called at 11:40 p.m. found the Ford Taurus Stacy was a passenger in totaled, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Its driver, Casey D. Hasenbalg, 27, also of Rochester, was transported to Providence Centralia Hospital where he was treated and has been released.

Hasenbalg was westbound and making a left turn on to Moon Road when his car was struck by an eastbound vehicle, according to the state patrol. The Taurus was shoved into a Subaru sitting at a stop sign on Moon Road, the state patrol reported.

A 52-year-old Rochester woman driving the Subaru was reportedly uninjured but her car sustained an estimated $1,000 damage, according to the patrol.

The other vehicle, a Mitsubishi Endeavor sustained an estimated $3,000 damage, and the state patrol reported its driver – a 24-year-old Rochester woman – was also uninjured.
