I-90 Traffic Crash Sends 3 to Hospital
Spokane, WA (May 13, 2024) – 20-year-old Kylee Ward sustained injuries following an Interstate 90 motorcycle crash Saturday night.
It was about 10:30 when a 2006 Suzuki and a 2019 Kawasaki collided near milepost 283.
A group of motorcyclists was westbound on the freeway when Elias Ramos Carrero, 28, rear-ended the motorcycle driven by Brendan Silver, 20, with Ward as his passenger.
Both motorcycles rested on the right shoulder and the riders landed on the opposite shoulder of the highway.
Immediately, the medical team rushed Ramos Carrero, Silver, and Ward, to a hospital.
Officers said drugs or alcohol were involved in the collision while charges for both motorcyclists are under investigation.
All three were wearing helmets when the collision happened. Both motorcycles were totaled.
Always remember to plan for a sober driver to take you home. If you’re the designated driver, it’s important to take the role seriously and don’t consume alcohol or use other drugs. Here are some more safety tips:
Never drink and drive.
Don’t let someone get behind the wheel if that person has been drinking.
If you’re hosting a gathering, ensure everyone has a sober ride home.
Call 911 if you see a drunk driver.
Always wear your seat belt. It’s your best defense against impaired drivers.
Just one drink before driving can put you and others in danger because alcohol impairs thinking, reasoning, and muscle coordination. Impaired driving poses a serious threat to road safety. It increases the risk of accidents, injuries, and fatalities. Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, reaction time, and coordination, making it difficult for drivers to operate a vehicle safely.
By choosing not to drink and drive, you are taking an important step towards protecting yourself and others on the road.
