Puyallup Man Charged After Killing 2 In Washington Accident
Posted on May 11, 2010
After concluding their car accident investigation, the Washington State Patrol has charged a Puyallup man of reckless driving. The charge is in regards to an I-5 car accident that took place on October 30, 2009 at around 6 PM near the 320th Street exit.
According to police records, 52-year-old Garry Ward of Puyallup was driving on Interstate 5 on October 5 when he lost control of his car, drove over the interstate median, and struck four cars traveling southbound near Federal Way, Washington. Two passengers in separate cars, 55-year-old Robert Galaviz of Federal Way, and 61-year-old Georgina Steele, of Seattle, died at the scene of the WA car accident, while three other people were seriously injured in the car crash. Ward also suffered injuries and was treated at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
WA Police at first thought that Ward had been driving and driving before the crash and should be charged with vehicular homicide, but further tests showed that he had been smoking marijuana and had probably fainted while behind the wheel. The man has a history of losing consciousness and was diagnosed with a fainting medical condition in 2008. However, it is also known that marijuana use can cause lightheadedness and fainting, especially in those who are prone to losing consciousness.
It is not clear whether the families of those who died in the Federal Way car accident will file wrongful death lawsuits regarding the accident or whether those injured will file Washington personal injury lawsuits.
