TowNews Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 A tow truck driver working at a crash scene on state Route 7 was hit and seriously injured by a suspected drunken driver Wednesday night, according to the State Patrol. The 26-year-old Eatonville man was airlifted to Tacoma General Hospital. He was called out to a collision in the northbound lanes of SR 7 about two miles north of Elbe to impound a vehicle. Troopers said he was standing in the lane near the crash scene working about 9 p.m. when a Dodge Dakota pickup truck traveling north struck him. The 23-year-old Eatonville man driving the pickup truck was arrested on suspicion of vehicular assault and third-degree driving on a suspended license. He was booked into Pierce County Jail. Pierce County prosecutors are expected to make a charging decision Thursday. That section of SR 7 was closed for more than three hours while investigators processed and cleaned up the scene.
