Tacoma, WA (February 28, 2025) - Shortly before 5:00 p.m., on February 28, a traffic accident in Tacoma ended in injuries. Multiple responders were dispatched to the scene on State Route 16 near South 19th Street to help those involved.
One or more patients needed emergency medical care and transportation to the hospital. Paramedics worked diligently to take those with serious injuries to nearby medical facilities while police investigated the circumstances of the incident. The center lane of SR-16 was blocked while responders were present on the road, and police urged local drivers to use alternate routes. Investigations into the circumstances of the accident continue.
We hope for the full and rapid recovery of the injured victims.
Being hurt in a traffic accident is one of the most difficult experiences a person can go through. Every year, over 3 million people are hurt in traffic accidents in the United States. Sadly, more than 40,000 end up losing their lives in these wrecks. On average, the US sees over 6 million traffic accidents annually, most caused by negligent driving.
Negligent drivers engage in dangerous behaviors that are a serious risk to them and everyone else they encounter on the road. Some of these behaviors include driving while intoxicated, distracted, fatigued, or while traveling at unsafe speeds. Each year, over 12,000 people lose their lives in traffic collisions caused by the actions of drivers who are intoxicated. This is approximately 30% of the yearly national accident fatality rate, which is about 40,000 people per year.
