According to the News Tribune and the Washington State Patrol, a Tacoma woman was driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding, and driving recklessly when she crashed her car on Route 3 in Kitsap County this weekend.
Washington authorities say that the 38-year-old Tacoma woman was driving her car in the early hours of Saturday morning, June 5, when she crashed into a pickup truck. The woman, who had been drinking earlier that night, was driving southbound of State Route 3 from State Route 308 when she ran her car into a ditch and then back on to the road into an oncoming Toyota Tacoma.
The woman, who will soon be facing charges for speeding and DUI, was rushed by EMS to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton, where she is being treated for broken bones, internal injuries, and a head injury. The driver of the pickup truck, a 23-year-old man who lives out of state, suffered only minor injuries in the crash and was able to drive his truck from the scene of the Washington car accident. The drunk driver’s car was totaled in the late-night Tacoma collision. While the young man was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the WA car accident, it is not known if the drunk driver was buckled up when she ran off of the road.
The Tacoma car crash is still under investigation, but police say that speed and alcohol were almost certainly factors in the two-car collision.
