A Pilot Rock woman was listed in critical condition following a one-vehicle accident on Highway 395 about eight miles south of Pendleton on Friday.

The accident occurred around 6 a.m. when Kathleen J. Moffett lost control of her 2009 Nissan Frontier pick-up truck. According to the Oregon State Police, the truck hit an icy patch of road and slid off the highway, rolled over once before coming to a stop in a ditch. The truck was partially crushed and Moffett, who was wearing seat belts, was trapped inside.

According to the OSP, passing motorists stopped and removed Moffett from the vehicle while emergency responders were en route. Moffett, 57, was taken to St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton before being transported by air to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland.

The OSP was assisted by local responders, Pilot Rock Police Department, and the Oregon Department of Transportation.
