Tacoma, WA (February 20, 2025) – At approximately 8:17 p.m. on February 20, a car crash happened in Tacoma that ended in injuries and delays. Responders were sent to the crash site on Interstate 5 near South 72nd Street to help those involved. Paramedics rendered injured parties aid before being taken to local medical centers for further evaluation and care. At this time, the names of the injured parties have not been reported. The interstate was closed while police and EMS worked in the area, creating significant traffic delays.
Police in Tacoma continue to investigate the details of the incident. We hope for the full recovery of the injured victims.
A car wreck is n
ot uncommon; in fact, 3 million people are hurt in traffic accidents per year, while more than 40,000 end up losing their lives.
Car accidents are the main cause of death among people ages 15-20 in the US. Information provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that more than 94% of auto collisions in the United States are caused by negligent driving.
Negligent driving is extremely dangerous, taking the lives of tens of thousands of people per year. For example, over 11,000 people are killed annually in speeding accidents, and 12,000+ individuals are killed in traffic collisions each year caused by intoxicated driving.
Those who are hurt in crashes caused by negligence often end up racking up expensive hospital bills due to suffering serious injuries.
