One person is dead and another injured after a drunk driver struck a motorcyclist Sunday evening in Spanaway.
Authorities responded to the scene just after 9:30 p.m. Sunday on state route 7 near 268th St East.
First responders arrived to the scene to find the collision involved a motorcycle and a car, with the rider pronounced dead at the scene and the driver of the car transported to the hospital in critical condition.
The driver was also under investigation for driving under the influence and investigators are looking into the events leading up to the collision.
What Can You Do After Wrongful Death DUI Collisions?
In the modern-day and age with taxis, rideshares, and public transportation there has never been less of an excuse for driving drunk, and every drunk driving death is preventable.
While the investigation into this collision has not concluded at this point, initial reporting indicating the driver was intoxicated at the time of the collision is all we can base any analysis of this accident on at this time.
A driver being intoxicated simplifies the question of liability and fault unless very surprising new information arises, but that does little to help a family grieving their loss.
Attempting to recover damages after a collision like this can be challenging for families despite the clear liability due to the complex and high-stakes process of wrongful death claims.
