Fatal Washington Car Accident Caused by Driver Who Ran Red Light

One person was killed and two others were injured in a Washington car accident that involved several vehicles, after one of the drivers speeded and ran a red light, according to a KOMO news report. A sport utility vehicle ran through a stop light and crashed into another car, the report said. The impact of the accident caused the SUV to become airborne and slam down on an Audi. One of the SUV’s occupants died at the scene. Two others – one person in the SUV and another in the Audi were also injured. The others in the SUV tried to run away from the scene. Police caught up with one, but are looking for several others including the driver of the SUV, who apparently caused this fatal car accident.

The driver of the SUV, in this case, seems to have violated several traffic laws. This individual, according to officials, was speeding, ran through a red light and after the accident, fled from the scene. This individual no doubt will face criminal charges, but it is important that such negligent drivers in these types of cases be held civilly liable for the injuries and damages that result.
