Location: I-5 near intersection of I-90

Outcome: 2 injured

Two women were injured in a car crash on I-5 Saturday morning around 2:15 a.m.

Both were taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment of injuries sustained in the crash.

A Milton woman was heading south on I-5 near the intersection of I-90 in a 2000 Ford Explorer when she hit the jersey barrier on the left shoulder of the freeway causing her car to spin around in the opposite direction.

The Milton woman then began to drive head-on towards a 1997 Ford Explorer. The driver of the 1997 Explorer, a seattle resident, swerved to avoid the on-coming vehicle causing her to slam into the jersey barrier and the Milton woman's car.

According to the Washington State Patrol, the Milton woman now faces possible charges of DUI and vehicular assault.

Both cars were totaled in the crash.

National Drunk Driving Statistics state that in the U.S., drunken driving accidents kill one person every 39 minutes. In Washington State, after your first DUI offense, your license will be suspended for 90 days and after the second offense, a suspension of 2 years and mandatory jail time will be given.

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident related to drunk driving, it would be in your best interest to speak with an experienced Seattle car accident lawyer.
