Pickup truck collision with Stryker in Spanaway | Tacoma truck accident attorney

On April 7, 2009, a 55-year-old pickup truck driver, Gregory Wood from Roy, Washington, was killed in a collision with a Stryker vehicle from Fort Lewis on SR-507 near Spanaway.

According to Washington State Patrol, two Fort Lewis-based Strykers were stopped at an intersection. The first turned left onto the highway, and as the second was entering the roadway, it collided into the side of a Wood's Ford F-150.

It appears that the Stryker vehicle failed to yield the right of way to the pickup truck and may also have been inattentive causing the fatal crash.
