According to WSP, the single-vehicle accident happened around 5 a.m. in the roundabout at State Route 14 and Washougal River Road.

Here are some of the things we can do to prevent traffic accidents:
Start by inspecting your vehicle’s headlights and turn signals. Ensure the front and rear headlamps are working properly and visible from a few yards away.
Read your tire pressure to maintain the recommended pressure. In addition, check underneath your vehicle for leaks and loose objects.
You should always stay focused while on the road. Remove all distractions that could cause accidents, such as mobile phone use and unrestrained toddlers.
Most of all, it is also important to make sure the road is clear and avoid any possible collision.
