Ferndale, WA (April 4, 2025) - A car crash happened in Ferndale on Saturday and resulted in injuries. Information provided by the Washington State Patrol shows the incident occurred when a vehicle rolled over on Interstate 5 near Slater Road.
One vehicle reportedly overturned while another left the roadway. Two injured individuals were transported by ambulance to PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center. Police say the wreck happened when a 2023 Dodge Charger veered onto the right shoulder and collided with a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The force pushed the Chevrolet and its driver, who had been changing a tire, into a ditch. Both drivers were hurt and transported to the hospital. Police have not yet determined the cause of the accident, but the investigation is active.
We hope for the full and rapid recovery of the injured victims.
Washington State sees tens of thousands of yearly car accidents. These wrecks cause thousands of people to sustain injuries and hundreds to lose their lives. In 2023, approximately 800 people were killed in Washington traffic accidents. These tragic numbers highlight the growing concern for road safety in the Evergreen State.
Across the nation, the story remains the same. Over 6 million traffic collisions occurred in 2023, leading to approximately 3 million injuries. Tragically, more than 40,000 lives are lost each year in American car accidents. The ripple effects of these accidents are devastating for victims, families, and communities alike.
Auto accidents happen for countless reasons, though driver negligence is most often to blame. Intoxication, distraction, fatigue, and speeding are leading contributors to roadway tragedies in the United States. For example, speeding alone caused over 11,000 deaths in a single recent year. Similarly, distracted driving—a serious problem—continues to be a major factor in accidents nationwide. These reckless behaviors not only endanger negligent drivers but also put countless innocent lives at risk.
