Local woman hurt in wreck

Camp Sherman resident Emma Sivers was injured in a single-vehicle wreck on Highway 20 about 1/4 mile west of the entrance to Black Butte Ranch on Monday, April 26.

According to Oregon State Police reports, Sivers, 53, fell asleep while headed westbound at about 5:25 p.m. Sivers' Subaru Outback drifted across the highway, narrowly missing an eastbound pick-up truck.

She then reportedly overcorrected, heading back across the highway and rolling the vehicle once.

The car came to rest on the north embankment of the road, its wheels buried to the hubs in cinders.

A Sisters emergency team transported Sivers to St. Charles Medical Center. According to hospital spokesman Todd Sprague, Sivers was in serious condition on Tuesday, suffering from a neck fracture.

Sivers is the finance officer for the City of Sisters.
