A FedEx van driven by Mark Hanson, 50, of Tillamook, crashed into the truck.<\/p>\n<p>Both drivers were taken to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center with serious injuries. Hanson was transported by Life Flight and Romero by ambulance. Their injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.<\/p>\n<p>Although we have seen some beautiful spring weather in Oregon, it is still extremely important to watch for patches of ice. The Oregon Department of Transportation, in \u201cWinter Driving Can Be Tricky,\u201d warns that better cars, better roads, and better tires don\u2019t take the place of careful driving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tips for Winter (and Early Spring) Driving:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In snow or fog, drive with your low beams on. And keep headlights clean \u2013 dirty headlights can cut visibility in half.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Keep a good grip on the steering wheel. Do not make sudden turns; if you skid, correct your car using a light touch.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Increase following distance, then increase it some more. ODOT recommends at least three times the normal following distance in snow or ice.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Plan ahead for intersections.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you find yourself skidding, ease your foot off the accelerator. If you have a manual transmission, push in the clutch. While keeping your foot off the brake, steer the same direction your car\u2019s rear end is skidding.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you hit a patch of ice, ease up on the accelerator and let your car \u201croll\u201d through.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Remember that posted speed limits are meant for dry conditions, not rain, snow, sleet, or ice. Slow down during winter weather.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWhat to do now:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Be prepared. Take a moment today to double-check your owner\u2019s manual for the best braking technique for your car. Then, stash an <a title=\"Winter Driving Tips | ODOT\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/ODOT\/COMM\/Pages\/winterdriving.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">emergency kit<\/a> in the trunk.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Read our <a title=\"Rainy weather is more than  just water on the roads; it's more accidents and more chances that you  will need to call lawyers like us | DuBois Law Group\" href=\"https:\/\/pdxinjurylaw.com\/es\/oregon-injury-resources\/rainy-weather-driving-tips\/\">tips on driving in the rain<\/a>.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Always make sure you and your passengers are wearing safety restraints.<\/p>\n<p>We send our prayers and wishes to Romero and Hanson, and to all their family members. We hope you will be completely recovered soon, and please know that we are thinking of you.<\/p>\n<p>The moments and days after a crash are the most important. First, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if you think your injuries are minor, you should have a record of anything after the accident in case the pains become more serious. Second, either you, a friend or family member, or a qualified attorney, should collect evidence from the accident scene. Evidence can disappear quickly, so doing this while your loved one is in the hospital is of extreme importance. We understand that you may not want to do this while you or your loved one is in the hospital, so you may want to <a title=\"Profiles of Oregon Accident and  Injury Attorneys and Staff at DuBois Law Group\" href=\"https:\/\/pdxinjurylaw.com\/es\/bio\/\">ask an attorney to do it for you<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The months after an accident are important as well. There are time limits to filing a claim if you have been in an accident. And sometimes you can\u2019t go back to work, so you start to worry about paying medical bills and wage loss. These are all stressful things, and it doesn\u2019t help that the insurance company won\u2019t leave you alone, but they won\u2019t help you either. So please, do not hesitate to call us or request a free copy of our book, <em><a title=\"Free Book - 7  Common Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Oregon Accident Case\" href=\"https:\/\/pdxinjurylaw.com\/es\/7-common-mistakes-that-can-wreck-your-oregon-accident-case\/\">7 Common Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Oregon Accident Case<\/a><\/em>.
