One Killed in Washington Auto Accident Involving Drunk Driver
August 3, 2011
A Washington auto accident involving a drunk driver took the life of a 26-year-old woman from Lake Stevens, Washington, late last Friday night.
According to KOMOnews.com, the Washington auto accident occurred just after 11:15 PM on the Tulalip Indian Reservation near Marysville, Washington.
Officers responded to a call about a suspected drunk driver, reported to be in a Dodge pickup truck near Grove Street. When officers tracked the vehicle down, the driver was weaving in and out of lanes, as reported. However, when officers attempted to pull the driver over, he sped away and a chase ensued. The driver proceeded down the wrong side of the street, striking two cars along 4th Street. He continued to flee as the street changed to Marine View Drive, and within moments, struck a third vehicle. The impact sent both vehicles flying from the roadway, and overturned the Dodge pickup. Police were able to apprehend the driver and subsequently booked him on charges of vehicular homicide, hit and run, and eluding a police officer.
Emergency first responders found the woman who was driving the car involved in the third and final crash caused by the drunk driver knocked unconscious from the accident. She was declared dead at the scene of the Washington auto accident.
