Journal photo Shawna Whelan ACCIDENT BRIEFS Two injured after driver falls asleep The hazards of drowsy driving were illustrated last week when a vehicle went off the road in Mason County, sending its driver and passenger to the hospital. Olympia resident Michael J. Coluc- cio, 40, was driving a 2003 Ford Ex- pedition on Nov. 6 with 47-year-old Centralia resident Misty A. Rains as his passenger. They were southbound on US. Highway 101 when the truck left the road to the right, went down a 30-foot embankment and struck sever- al trees, according to the Washington State Patrol. The cause of the accident, accord- ing to the WSP, was Coluccio falling asleep at the wheel. The accident oc- curred'around 8:30pm. Both he and Rains were injured and taken by aid car to Mason General Hospital, where they were treated and released. The WSP determined neither drugs nor alcohol were involved in the acci- dent, but the truck Coluccio was driv- ing had to be towed away. Rollover at Sunset Beach on Route 106 In spite of rolling his vehicle with; out being buckled up, a driver from Union was treated and released from St. Michael Medical Center in Bremer- ton the same morning he had his ac- cident in Mason County. . Eyion M. Harris, 30, was eastbound in a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer at 3:52 am. on Nov. 10 on state, Route 106 at Sunset Beach when his vehicle left the road, struck an embankment and rolled over. The Washington State Patrol de- termined drugs or alcohol weren’t involved. Harris was not wearing his seatbelt and had to be transported by aid car to. St. Michael’s Hospital. « Harris was released from the hos- pital later that same morning, but his vehicle was totaled and had to be toWed. I Compiled by Kirk Boxleitner Burglars hit Chamber, title company oflice 0n Railroad By Kirk Boxletner kbox/e/tner@masoncounty. com The folks at 215 W. Railroad Ave. in Shelton got a nasty shock when they returned from their weekends to find their offices burglarized. The first to discover the intrusion was Nels Jorgenson, county messen- ger and title officer for the Olympic Ti- tle Escrow Co. Jorgenson returned to his workplace on the morning of Nov. 2, the day before the Shelton- Mason County Chamber of Commerce reopened for the week. Chamber Executive Director Heidi McCutcheon returned to the cham- ber offices Nov. 4 and spoke with the Shelton-Mason County Journal at that time. “It appears the thieves were inter- rupted in the midst of their heist,” Mc— Cutcheon said. “A television that had been set up in our conference room was lying in the hallway with a plastic tablecloth covering it.” Shelton Police dusted for finger- prints, but they determined the TV was handled by someone wearing 1a- tex gloves. McCutcheon reported that the Chamber’s file cabinets and other stor- age units were locked, so sensitive in- formation was not taken. “Our computers are still here and undamaged, although they did man- I age‘to get our tablets, keyboards and charging station, which seems typi- cal,” McCutcheon said. “There were some items taken that seemed out of the ordinary. Deidre’s snacks were stolen —— apparently, her’s are better than mine and my Mr. Coffee mug warmer is now missing among an as- sortment of handbags, cameras and other odds and ends.” . A locksmith arrived at the offices to bolster their security, although Mc- Cutcheon noted there hasn’t been a burglary at those offices in the past decade that she’s been here. V “We’re still making a list of things that are missing as we discover them,” McCutcheon said Nov. 4. “When I joined a Zoom call this morning, I re- alized my webcam was gone, and this afternoon, I realized my manicure set was missing. At this time, I estimate the total loss at around $2,000.” One aspect of downtown Shelton that McCutcheon said she appreciates is how rare she’s found such breaking and entering incidents to be, particu- larly for occupied commercial build- ings. “Less than a handful of events come to mind,” McCutcheon said. “Shoplift- ing is more common.” Anyone with information on the burglary can contact Shelton Police Detective Jason Lawson at 360-432- 5138.
