Lewis Co., WA (April 8, 2025) - On Monday, April 7, a traffic accident with injuries occurred in Lewis County. Reports show the collision occurred shortly before 9:00 a.m. when a man from Morton, age 58, was traveling west on US Highway 12 near Silver Creek.
Police informed that he tried to pass traffic, crossed into the eastbound lanes, and collided head-on with another driver. The other driver, an Ocean Park resident, age 35, was airlifted to Tacoma General Hospital with serious injuries. The Morton Man also sustained injuries and was transported to Providence Centralia Hospital. Police say unsafe passing was the cause of the accident.
We hope for the full recovery of the injured victims.
Car accidents are a persistent issue across the United States, occurring thousands of times each day. Every year, more than 6 million traffic collisions are reported, with nearly half of them resulting in injuries. Tragically, over 40,000 lives are lost annually due to these accidents. A deeply concerning factor is that most of these crashes are caused by negligent driving.
In Washington state, driver negligence is the primary contributor to auto accidents, especially behaviors such as driving under the influence, distractions, and excessive speeding. These factors are responsible for hundreds of fatalities in the state every year.
