Location: I-90 near Preston
Outcome: One with Serious Injuries
A tarp that fell off the back of a truck caused a car accident injury on I-90 near Preston Thursday evening.
A Snoqualmie resident was taken to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries.
The accident took place around 5:50 p.m. in the westbound lanes of I-90 in Preston.
According to witnesses, a gray 2007 Ford Focus was heading west in the center lane of I-90 when it swerved to avoid a big tarp in the middle of the road. The driver of the focus lost control and the car rolled over in the center median.
We hope that the driver injured in this crash has a quick recovery from their injuries.
According to AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, road debris such as tires, lost cargo, auto parts etc... cause nearly 25,000 accidents and kill at least 100 people every year.
There is a penalty for unsecured loads called "Maria's Law." If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in an accident caused by unsecured loads or debris in the roadway it would be in your best interest to speak with an experienced accident lawyer.
