ENTIAT -- An East Wenatchee woman and a Manson boy died in a three-car accident on an icy highway north of Entiat Monday night.

The emergency scene was so chaotic for rescuers that the body of the boy, who had been thrown about 40 feet from the crash, was not discovered until more than an hour after ambulances arrived.

Eight others were injured in the accident that closed Highway 97A between Chelan and Wenatchee for more than six hours, from 8:14 p.m. Monday until 2:40 a.m. today.

Paramedics were able to revive a 1-year-old boy who stopped breathing at the scene about 1.5 miles north of Entiat near Earthquake Point. But another person who was revived at the scene, Rosalia Kellogg, 30, of East Wenatchee, later died at Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee.

After paramedics left the accident scene, firefighters cleaning up the area found the body of 7-year-old Jesus Rodriguez of Manson. Rodriguez, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from a vehicle and over an 8-foot embankment, said State Patrol Sgt. Mike Dingle.

State troopers said the accident happened when the boy's mother, Stephanie E. Aburto, 30, Manson, was driving north on the highway and apparently lost control on the icy road. Her car crossed into the southbound lane and struck a car driven by Kellogg, troopers said.

A third car driven by Brandy S. Fisher, 30, of Preston, heading north on the road, also struck Kellogg's car.

Dingle said freezing rain was reported in the area before the crash. He said speed was also a factor.

The accident scene was chaotic when paramedics arrived, said Shawn Ballard of Ballard Ambulance. "When we got there, we thought we were going to have four patients," he said. "Then, all of a sudden, they started pulling people out of ditches left and right. I guess some people were thrown from their cars.

"Then it was a real scramble," he added. He said 1-year-old Luis Aburto of Manson stopped breathing just as the first paramedics arrived.

"Just as they got there, (the paramedics) were handed this baby that was not breathing and had no pulse," Ballard said. He said they did CPR for about two minutes before the baby started breathing again. He was then taken to the Wenatchee hospital.

But with a fractured skull and other head injuries, Luis Aburto took a turn for the worse this morning and was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he was in critical condition. His mother, Stephanie Aburto, was also flown to the Seattle hospital with head and chest injuries and a broken arm. She was in serious condition this morning.

Two other passengers in her car were taken to the Wenatchee hospital. Her husband, Jose Aburto, 26, of Manson, was in serious condition today with spinal fractures. Their daughter Ariana Aburto, 2, was in stable condition with broken legs.

A passenger in Kellogg's car, Miguel A. Bravo, 33, East Wenatchee, was treated at the Wenatchee hospital for leg and hand injuries and later released.

Ballard said Bravo was giving Kellogg CPR while she was still in the car when aid arrived. Entiat firefighters were able to revive her once, but she stopped breathing again as they tried to cut her out of the car. Ballard then worked on her in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. She died an hour later.

Fisher, the driver of the third car, was treated for neck pain and later released. A passenger in her car, Michael S. Norris, 25, of Chelan, was treated at the Wenatchee hospital for neck strain and then released. Another passenger, 5-year-old Alex Norris of Chelan, was also treated for minor injures and later released.
