Local woman perishes in auto accident
Earlier article contained incorrect information

An article published in the Wednesday July 1, 2009 edition of the Central Oregonian regarding a double fatal vehicle accident near Grand Mound, Wash., contained several errors.
   An initial Washington State Police report on the accident contained some factual inaccuracies. Unfortunately, an updated news release with the corrected information was provided after the Central Oregonian had been printed.
   According to the latest information, one Prineville resident and another motorist were killed and three other Prineville residents were injured in a three-vehicle accident near Grand Mound, Wash., Monday afternoon.
   Derrick Filby, 33, of Rochester, Wash., was driving a 1986 Toyota MR2 westbound on State Route 12. A southbound early 1990s Chevrolet pickup turned into the path of Filby’s vehicle. Filby hit the brakes and swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid hitting the Chevrolet pickup. In doing so, Filby struck a 2002 PT Cruiser, driven by 60-year-old Prineville resident Calvan Mason, head-on.
   Michelle Jordan, 35, of Prineville, a passenger in the PT Cruiser and Filby were killed in the collision. Calvan Mason, Joyce Mason, 57, of Prineville, and Ashlynne Mason, 14, of Prineville, sustained injuries and were transported to a nearby hospital.
   The passenger in Filby’s vehicle, Jody Fletcher, 29, of Chehalis, Wash., was injured and transported to the hospital as well.
   The driver of the Chevrolet pickup kept driving after the collision and the driver is currently unknown.
   No citations have been issued at this time.
   Washington State Police detectives are asking for any witnesses of the crash or anybody with any other information about the driver of the pickup to call Washington State Patrol at 360-586-1999.
   There is a memorial fund in Michelle Jordan’s memory at Oregonians Credit Union in Prineville.
