Belfair Car Accident Injures Five Children Without Seatbelts


Posted on Oct 11, 2009

A Belfair, Washington, car accident has the state talking about preventable car accidents, children's car safety, drunk driving, and responsible adult behavior.

The Washington State Patrol has reported that a car carrying two adults and five children left the road after pulling out of a McDonald's drive through, veering off of Highway 3, and falling down a steep embankment. A copse of trees stopped the van from falling further down the embankment. All seven occupants were injured in the accident - and two were seriously injured. The accident victims were transported to Harrison Hospital in Bremerton with non-life threatening injuries

The driver of the car, 32-year-old Miguel Juan-Zacarias of Belfair, and the passenger, an unidentified 35-year-old woman, suffered from head injuries and chest pain. The driver was found to be either drinking and driving or under the influence of drugs. None of the five children were wearing seatbelts or in child safety seats at the time of the crash. The children were 11, 10, 8, 5 and 3 years old.

In the wake of the Mason County car accident the driver was charged with suspicion of DUI and third-degree assault of a child. The two adults in the car were also not wearing their seatbelts. Following the Washington car accident, the passengers have been released from the hospital while the driver of the car was transported to the Mason County jail. He has been arrested for drinking and driving - with a child in the car - on a previous occasion.
