Date: October 9, 2008 Location: Lake Stevens Type: Car Accident
A dump truck accident that involved a pickup truck injured one man, spilled gallons of diesel fuel, and closed and closed a section of Highway 92 just east of Lake Stevens.
Apparently the dump truck was eastbound on Highway 92 and a red Ford pickup was westbound when the pickup crossed over the centerline.
The dump truck driver was James Wallis. He says that he tried to avoid a head-on collision but couldn't.
The pickup driver was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The extent of his injuries was not immediately available.
Apparently 65 gallons of diesel fuel spilled into the roadside ditch near the collision but went no further.
The accident is the third major collision along the same stretch of Highway 92 over the last two months.
