Fatal Highway 121 Accident Kills Teen | Washington Personal Injury Lawyer

Type: Fatal Child Accident

Date: January 31, 2010, 01/31/10

Location: Highway 121

Outcome: One death, one with minor injuries

A teenage Tenino boy died in a fatal washington car accident on Highway 121 Sunday late afternoon.

The accident took place just south of the entrance to Millersylvania State Park around 3:45 p.m.

According to Washington State Patrol spokeswoman Brandy Kessler, the teen was driving a 1993 Toyota Tercel southbound when he left the road to the right. He avoided a pole and swerved back on the road into oncoming traffic.

A northbound Lexus RX330 hit the Tercel on it's passenger side. The driver of the Lexus, also from Tenino, was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia as a precaution.

There were no passengers in either of the cars.

It is not known why the teen veered off the road in the first place.

The family and friends of the teen are in our thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.

According to teenage car accident statistics, drivers age 16 to 19 years old have the highest number of traffic accidents than any other age group.

If your child has been killed or seriously injured in a Washington State car accident, hiring an experienced Washington Child Car Accident Lawyer would be beneficial in not only taking some of the load off your shoulders but also ensuring you are receiving rightful compensation.
