Tacoma, WA - Injury Accident on US Hwy 101 near MP 84.76

Tacoma, WA (May 24, 2025) – A collision occurred on northbound U.S. Highway 101 near milepost 84.76, close to West Alder Street, at approximately 9:48 p.m. on May 24. The incident resulted in a full blockage of the northbound lanes.

Paramedics worked at the scene to help those with injuries. One or more patients were transported to the hospital by ambulance from the scene. At this time, the extent of the injuries suffered in the crash has not been reported.

Motorists traveling through the area experienced significant delays during the closure and were advised to seek alternate routes. WSDOT has since reopened the roadway, and traffic conditions have returned to normal.

We hope for the full and rapid recovery of the injured victims. 

Washington Car Accidents

Washington state sees over 100,000 vehicle accidents annually, with densely populated areas like Tacoma experiencing a large portion of these incidents. While some are minor fender benders, others bring life-altering consequences that go far beyond bent metal.

For many crash victims, the aftermath marks the beginning of a long, painful journey—physically, emotionally, and financially.

Here’s how a serious car accident can disrupt every aspect of your life:

• Overwhelming Medical Bills – Emergency care, rehabilitation, follow-up treatments, and ongoing medication often create a financial burden that insurance alone doesn’t fully cover. Many families struggle to keep up with these expenses long after the crash.
• Loss of Transportation – A totaled or badly damaged vehicle can throw your daily routine into chaos, making it difficult to work, run errands, or care for loved ones. And if your insurance payout falls short, you could be left footing the bill.
• Emotional Fallout – Survivors frequently suffer from more than physical injuries. Emotional trauma, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and PTSD can take a serious toll on relationships, mental health, and daily functioning.
• Time Off Work & Lost Wages – Recovering from an injury often means missing work. For some, that means lost income or even permanent career changes, especially in physically demanding jobs.
• Battles with Insurance Companies – Sadly, many insurance providers are quick to minimize claims. Victims are often left to deal with lowball offers, delays, or denials—without guidance or support.
