Nine Injured in Rollover Car Accident on I-5 in Dupont, Washington
Dupont, WA - June 9, 2009 - I-5 freewayTwo kids were left severely injured along with seven other people after a two vehicle accident near Dupont, WA on I-5. All 9 injured people were admitted to local hospitals. The nine people included six kids and two pregnant women all riding in a 8 passenger Ford Explorer.
All 9 people failed to wear seat belts, and none of the children were in child seats. The two most severly injured kids were ejected from the vehicle and found on the highway. They all were lucky that no died, especially the three people ejected from the suv. Seatbelts save lives as do child safty seats.
A Federal Way man caused the car accident that resulted in the Ford Explorer being launched over the jersey barrier rolling into oncoming I-5 traffic. The Federal Way man was arrested for investigation of DUI and attempted vehicluar homicide. The vehicular homicide charge seems to imply the man may have intentionally caused the accident and wanted to hurt the women and children in the Ford Explorer.
