Tacoma, WA (April 14, 2025) - At least one person was hurt in a traffic collision in Tacoma on April 14. Responders were dispatched to the scene at approximately 2:00 p.m. to help those involved. According to reports from local sources, the incident occurred on Interstate 5 near State Route 512 when vehicles collided in the area.
Paramedics were seen rendering aid to injured victims and transporting those in need of extensive medical care to local hospitals by ambulance. No one involved has currently been identified as police continue to investigate the details of the crash. The off-ramp to 512 was blocked while EMS and police worked in the area, and local motorists were asked to find alternate travel routes.
We hope for the full recovery of the injured victims.
Car accidents are on the rise across the United States, with over 6 million crashes reported every year. These incidents leave millions injured and claim thousands of lives annually. Alarmingly, most of these collisions are entirely preventable, with driver negligence being the leading cause behind the growing number of accidents on our roads.
Washington State has not been immune to this troubling trend. In 2023 alone, over 160,000 traffic accidents were reported statewide, resulting in nearly 60,000 injuries and more than 600 deaths. A significant portion of these crashes could have been avoided if not for careless driving behavior.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 80% of car accidents in the U.S. are linked to driver negligence. Some of the most frequent causes include:
