Pickup Drives up Tow Truck Ramp, Strikes Disabled Vehicle and Tow Truck North of Ocean Shores

Two people were injured when a truck drove up a ramp and struck a car that was on a tow truck North of Ocean Shores.

 

The Washington State Patrol reports the tow truck was prepping a disabled Honda Fit to be removed from the narrow-shoulder of State Route 109 about 5 miles north of Ocean Shores at 3:42 am Thursday when a 2007 Ford F150 pickup drove up the ramp and struck both vacant vehicles while their drivers were nearby preparing to leave.

 

The driver of the truck, a 57-year-old Hoquiam man, and the driver of the tow truck, a 30-year-old Ocean Shores man, suffered undisclosed injuries. The driver of the Honda was not injured.

 

The Hoquiam man was charged with failure to yield to an emergency vehicle.

This happens Way Too Often, any update on the driver?

Glad to hear the driver was charged for failure to yield for emergency vehicle. All to often, even though they should they do not get this kind of citation! Hope and pray the operator recovers quickly!
