IT’S STILL NOT SPRING–THROUGH THE PASSES

A lucky Salem man survived a 300-foot dive in his SUV from snowy, icy Highway 20 Near Santiam Pass yesterday.  Troopers say Peter Chamberlain’s GMC Yukon crashed through the guardrail and slid down a ravine the day before his 51st birthday.  Another motorist saw the accident, notified OSP, and got down to him to stabilize him while paramedics were enroute.  He received only non-life threatening injuries, which is a good thing–because Deschutes county rescuers took three hours to get him out of the rig and up to the roadway.
