Bad pass leads to wreck

A Sisters teen escaped injury when she crashed into an oncoming pickup truck on Highway 126 east of Sisters last week.

According to Deschutes County Sheriff's Office reports, Alicia Deaderick was headed westbound on Highway 126 in a Subaru wagon when she moved around a slow-moving vehicle in an attempt to pass.

Deaderick saw an oncoming Dodge pickup and slammed on the brakes, trying to turn back to the right, according to police.

She reportedly lost control of the vehicle and collided with the pickup's left wheel, then spun and hit the flatbed trailer the truck was pulling.

No one was hurt.

Deaderick was cited for unsafe passing.
