Two Shelton women and a child were injured in a crash Saturday afternoon on U.S. Highway 101 at Shelton Matlock Road.
According to the Washington State Patrol, a 1999 Buick LeSabre was northbound on 101 about 4:45 PM. As the car approached the Shelton Matlock Road interchange, it drifted onto the shoulder. The driver, a 39-year-old woman, over-corrected and the Buick crossed the southbound lane, striking the southbound guardrail.

The following is a summary of road construction and maintenance scheduled on state highways around Mason County and adjacent areas from December 8, 2019 to December 13, 2019.
Construction
US 101 – Coffee Creek – Remove Fish Barrier
Highway: US 101 Region: Olympic County: Mason Location: Milepost(s) 346.8
Description: Due to a revised contractor schedule, the new southbound US 101 exit to Shelton Matlock Road may not open until early January. WSDOT will provide advance notification when the opening of the new exit is scheduled. The new exit is roughly 1500 feet before the existing exit. After the new ramp opens, crews will shift Shelton-Matlock Road traffic onto a temporary two-lane bypass road. This allows travelers to bypass construction around-the-clock while crews build a new stream channel under the Shelton-Matlock Road.
Work Schedule: 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. each weekday: Brief traffic stops and shoulder closures on Shelton-Matlock Road approaching US 101 interchange. No traffic affects for US 101.
