Two-vehicle Rollover Accident Sends Four To The Hospital (Photo) - 04/30/26

Longview, WA – Emergency crews responded to a two-vehicle rollover accident at 4013 Ocean Beach Hwy just before 2 am Thursday.  Initial reports from bystanders were that one vehicle had rolled over and is resting on its top off of the roadway, and another is on its side.  Law enforcement arrived at the scene and confirmed two male subjects were trapped inside the upside-down passenger truck and the occupants of the other vehicle had removed themselves from the passenger car, which was resting on its side.

Firefighters from Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue and Longview Fire Department arrived on scene and began stabilizing the vehicle on its top, then extricating the occupants using Hydraulic and other rescue tools.  Four ambulances were called to the scene, one was later cancelled as they were not needed, and LifeFlight Network was requested and stood by at Peace Health St. John’s Medical Center (SJMC). 

Both occupants were extricated and transported rapidly to SJMC by medic units from Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue and Longview Medix.  The other two occupants, in the vehicle on its side, were also evaluated by on-scene paramedics; one was transported by another Cowlitz 2 medic unit, the other by Longview Police.  Two fire engines, three ambulances, two Chief Officers, and multiple police officers from Longview Police, Washington State Patrol, and Kelso Police responded to the accident. 

The cause of the accident is under investigation by Law enforcement.  Alcohol use is suspected to be a factor.
