Everett police are looking for the driver of a car involved in a fatal Everett Washington street race car accident that killed a Everett man on Friday, August 21, 2009.  The street raced between two cars took place just before the fatal Everett car accident on 9000 block of northbound Evergreen Way.  The driver the police are looking for was driving a Dodge Neon type car.  If you have any information about the driver please call (425) 257-8450.

One of the racing cars, an Acura Integra, slammed into a Toyota Corolla at a high rate of speed.  The Acura broadsided the Toyota as the Toyota made a left turn into a driveway from southbound Evergreen Way.  Witnesses reported the racing cars were going over 50 mph in a 35 mph zone.  

The Acura driver is cooperating with police in their vehicular homicide investigation.  The Acura driver apparently did not know the other driver.

This type of tragic car accident is why it's so important to carry UIM insurance.  Even if the Acura has car insurance, there's a chance his insurance company may deny coverage because he was street racing.  However, if you have UIM insurance on your own car insurance then you can deal with this problem effectively.  Especially in a fatal car accident where the surviving spouse and family will have a Washington wrongful death claim against the Acura and even the other car if he can he found.
