Craig Johnson's northbound Hyundai crossed the grassy median just north of Padden Parkway and collided head-on with a southbound Toyota pickup truck, The Columbian of Vancouver reported. The 54-year-old woman driving the Toyota was taken by ambulance to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center's intensive care unit and her condition was not immediately available, the newspaper reported.

Johnson received dozens of condolences through social media Wednesday night, and an online fundraiser had raised $941 of a $10,000 goal as of 10:50 p.m.

In an interview last year with The Columbian, Johnson said she had been listening to scanners since college.
