Tacoma Couple Killed On 1-90 After Driver Falls Asleep
Posted on Jul 07, 2010
A Tacoma husband and wife were killed on I-90 near North Bend, Washington, when the man fell asleep while at the wheel, Washington State Patrol and the Seattle Times Reported.
News sources say that the couple, 29-year-old Sean Mitchell and his 26-year-old wife, Lindsey, were driving back from a camping trip in Eastern Washington with their 4-year-old-child, a 20-year-old friend, and a 15-year-old boy. At around 6:45 in the morning, the man fell asleep while driving and the car drifted left into a bridge railing. The car passed over rumble strips before striking the guardrail and barrier and the car did not appear to slow down before impact. Mitchell and his wife, who was sitting directly behind him, both died in the Washington I-90 car accident.
The child, who was secured in a car safety seat, suffered minor injuries, while the 15-year-old boy suffered serious injuries to his legs and internal organs. The 20-year-old, who was in the passenger seat, suffered minor injuries. The survivors of the North Bend car crash were taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment.
Car safety experts urge drivers to pull over, take short naps, and drink at least two cups of coffee if they feel drowsy at the wheel. They also advise not driving between two and six in the morning or driving more than two hours or 100 miles without taking a break. Finally, they suggest having a passenger awake in the front seat to keep an eye on the driver and ensure that he is alert at the wheel.
