Driver Asleep at the Wheel Causes Injury Accident | Personal Injury Lawyer

Type: Car Accident

Date: December 13, 2009, 12/13/09

Location: North of Shelton

Outcome: One injured

A man sustained a car accident injury just before six a.m. Sunday on State Route 3 near Shelton.

Thomas Moore, a Grapeview resident, sustained a broken arm and head injury. He was treated at Mason General Hospital in Shelton and was later taken to Harborview Medical Center.

According to the Washington State Patrol, Moore fell asleep while driving his 2006 Chevrolet Colorado southbound on State Route 3 about seven miles north of Shelton and hit a stump.

Moore will face a charge of second-degree negligent driving.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) estimates that nearly 100,000 police-reported crashes each year attribute drowsiness or fatigue as the main cause of the accident. Of those accidents, there were about 1,500 fatalities and 71,000 injuries reported each year.

If you or someone you know has been injured by a negligent driver, it would be in your best interest to consult with experienced personal injury lawyer like those at Davis Law Group, who can help answer your questions, explain the options available to you, and help you regain your peace of mind.
