2 Teens Injured in Chain-Reaction Collision in South Seattle

Seattle, WA (October 15, 2020) – On Wednesday, 2 teenagers were injured in a DUI crash on Interstate 5, and a motorist was arrested for sending a car off the interstate.

The Washington State Patrol says around 6 p.m a van abruptly hits its break as it travels south near Airport Way.

Consequently, a motorist in an Infiniti while managing to avoid the van by swerving, hit a Dodge Charger instead.

Subsequently, the impact sent the Charger off the freeway, then after rolling over and ending up on its roof on Airport Way below.

Furthermore, the WSP is still investigating the incident. Additionally, one of the drivers is arrested for investigation of driving while impaired with drugs. Although, no other details are available at the moment.

Protecting Yourself Against Injury Crashes
