SVPD Officer Hospitalized on Sprague Avenue 2-Vehicle Collision [Spokane Valley, WA]

Spokane Valley, WA (February 27, 2023) – On Saturday night, an SVPD officer sustained injuries following a Sprague Avenue 2-vehicle collision.

It was before 11 p.m. when the officer was driving westbound with lights and his siren. Suddenly, he crashed into a southbound van on University Road.

The van driver, the van’s adult passenger, and the officer were rushed to the hospital for evaluation and additional treatment.

Moreover, investigating officers said the van driver didn’t yield to the deputy’s lights and siren nor stop at the intersection’s red light.

Traffic safety continues to be a life-and-death matter, yet reckless driving has not been in decline. As a matter of fact, a person is killed in a traffic accident every two hours.

Moreover, sharing the road is a shared responsibility. It is important to keep an eye out for those who are on the road with you. As responsible drivers, let us make it a habit to drive defensively to keep everyone safe.
