Driver Arrested in Tacoma DUI Crash
Tacoma, WA (January 14, 2025) – People were injured following a vehicle collision on 84th Street early Monday morning.
The vehicle-pedestrian accident happened around 12:45 a.m. on Interstate 5.
Troopers said a 45-year-old Puyallup woman was southbound on Interstate 5 and exiting 84th Street.
At the same time, a vehicle stopped on southbound I-5 at the gore point to 84th Street. The 47-year-old Hoquiam man driving that vehicle stepped outside to check on a flat tire.
The Puyallup woman tried to cross the gore point but hit the parked vehicle pushing the man.
Troopers said the Puyallup woman then stopped at the gore point.
The Hoquiam man was transported to St. Joseph Medical Center, and his passenger, a 48-year-old Hoquiam woman, was rushed to Tacoma General Hospital.
Moreover, the paramedics rushed the Puyallup driver to an area hospital. The authorities later arrested and booked her into the Pierce County Jail on suspicion of vehicular assault.
Officers suspect the Puyallup woman of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Drive Safely and Prevent Accidents
