Ashley Christensen Injured in East Trent Avenue DUI Crash [Trent, WA]

Trent, WA (April 23, 2022) – On Thursday, at about 4 p.m., Ashley Christensen, 35, of Spokane Valley, sustained injuries in an East Trent Avenue DUI crash.

A Toyota Camry, driven by Daniel Burt, 43, of Cheney, was southbound when it struck a Honda Odyssey head-on. 

The Odyssey driven by Christensen was stopped in the turn lane on North McDonald Road.

Right away, the paramedics took Christensen and her 9-year-old passenger to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center with injuries.

On the other hand, the rescuers treated Burt at the scene. Then, the officers cited him for vehicular assault. 

WSP determined drugs or alcohol were involved and impairment or distracted driving was the cause of the collision.

When driving, it is always important to pay attention to your surroundings. This, and abiding by all the driving laws as well as following all the road signs are simple ways to practice defensive driving.

Meanwhile, the perverse actions of a reckless driver can increase the likelihood of traffic collisions.

Additionally, this is a powerful reminder to always pay close attention to drivers around you. Constantly keep a considerable distance from others just in case harm is near.
