Car Accident Involving a Semi-Truck on I-82 Injures Two | Seattle Accident Lawyer

Type: Car Accident

Date: December 3, 2009, 12/03/09

Location: I-82 near Ellensburg

Outcome: 2 injured

A car accident involving a semi-truck injured two men around 12:40 Thursday on I-82 near Ellensburg.

According to Washington State Patrol, the semi truck caused the accident when he moved into the southbound left lane of I-82 to pass a slower car. That caused a four-door Mitsubishi Lancer in the left lane onto the shoulder where it hit the guardrail, bounced back onto the road and crashed into the semi's trailer.

Both men in the Lancer were taken to Kittitas Valley Community Hospital. One suffered from a head contusion and sore chest and the other had a neck injury.

Drugs and alcohol were not believed to be factors in this crash.

Truck and car collision statistics state that the average car weighs 3,500 pounds whereas a truck weighs an average of 80,000 pounds when loaded which puts cars and motorcycles at particular risk in crashes involving trucks because of the weight difference.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck-car collision, it would be in your best interest to contact an experienced Seattle accident lawyer who will seek compensation for lost wages, medical bills and any other costs associated with your accident injury.
