Wakley iwakley@msn.com December 31, 2006, 1:39 pm The Dalles Chronicle, September 18, 2006 A 2-year-old girl died as a result of injuries sustained in a head-on car crash Sunday afternoon in rural Hood River County. Gladis Baeza, 2, of Parkdale died after she was transported to Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital, according to a news release from the Oregon State Police. Troopers from The Dalles area command responded at around 4:30 p.m. to the crash on Highway 281, approximately 16 miles south of Hood River. Jose Baeza, 23, Parkdale, was operating a 1991 Acura Integra northbound on the highway. Riding with him in the car was Maria Pisanos, 20, Juan Baeza, 3, and Gladis Baeza, 2, all from Parkdale. According to the state police report, the crash occured when a southbound 1978 Ford pick-up operated by Erica Parker, 25, of Parkdale, crossed the highway center line and struck the Acura head on. All occupants of the Acura sustained injuries in the crash. Pisanos and Juan Baeza were transported to Providence Hood River hospital for treatment. Jose Baeza was taken by air ambulance to Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland. Parker was first transported to Providence Hood River hospital, and then was taken to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland for treatment of serious injuries sustained in the crash. Investigation is continuing into the cause of the crash, the state report said; however, preliminary reports indicate that neither child was restrained in approved child safety seats.
