A woman driving a motorhome without brakes blew a stop sign and flipped her vehicle Wednesday night, coming to an eventual stop across a set of railroad tracks, police said.

The driver, Angela Feemster, 32, was rushed to OSHU Hospital and is expected to survive, according to the Milwaukie Police Department. She faces a reckless driving charge.

Police said Feemster was heading south in her motorhome on Southeast 42nd Avenue around 11 p.m. when her rig ran the stop sign at the intersection of Southeast Railroad Avenue.

The motorhome flipped and landed on a set of nearby railroad tracks, said police. Feemster was found pinned in the driver's seat.

Friends of Feemster later told investigators her motorhome had been without brakes for over a month, according to police.

It took two local tow companies, Olson Bros. Towing and Bud's Towing, to remove the motorhome and wreckage off the tracks, police said.
