Washington State Patrol Detectives Seek Witnesses to I-5 Collision
Washington Law Enforcement
On Dec. 21 at approximately 8:55 pm, a Washington State Patrol trooper attempted to stop two vehicles that were racing NB I-5 (express lanes)/South of Northgate. As the trooper turned from the mainline of I-5 to the express lanes, his patrol vehicle struck a light pole. The light pole separated from the base and fell on the main line on NB I-5.
During the investigation, a different state trooper, who had just exited his vehicle, was struck by a gold, Honda Accord. The driver of that vehicle fled the scene in his car but was later stopped and arrested for Reckless Driving, DUI and felony Hit and Run near Northgate Way and 1st Ave.
