Peshastin, WA (April 3, 2025) – One person suffered injuries in a traffic accident near Peshastin on Wednesday, April 2. Police say it happened at approximately 12:50 p.m. when an unknown vehicle attempted a u-turn while two pickup trucks slowed down. A sedan operated by a 19-year-old woman from East Wenatchee failed to slow down and rear-ended one of the pickup trucks. One truck then struck the second, which then struck the unknown vehicle. The two trucks and the sedan stopped in the westbound lane of the road, while troopers failed to find the unknown vehicle. The teenage woman was treated for injuries she sustained in the accident, and her vehicle was totaled. Police continue to investigate the circumstances of the accident.
We hope for the full recovery of the injured victim.
