Man hurt in wreck near Sisters
Black Butte Ranch
firefighters used the Jaws of Life to pry a Bend man from the wreckage of
his Toyota SR-5 after a head-on collision on Highway 20 on Friday, June
21.
According to Deschutes County
Sheriff's Office reports, Nicholas M. Piscotta was traveling eastbound
on Highway 20 near the intersection of Indian Ford Road when his vehicle
crossed the center line into oncoming traffic.
The reason Piscotta crossed
the line was not clear at press time.
Piscotta's SR-5 struck an
oncoming Dodge Intrepid head-on. The driver of the Intrepid and a passenger
suffered only minor injuries. According to sheriff's office, they were
taken by ambulance to St. Charles Medical Center for observation.
Piscotta was transported to
the hospital by Air Life, where he underwent surgery.
Traffic was stalled for miles
in both directions.
