A 21-year old driver allegedly crossed the median on I-182 in Pasco Thursday morning about 11:00 a.m. causing a fiery head-on collision that sent the driver and a victim, a 35-year old woman, to the hospital and closed a westbound lane for a big chunk of midday.
Commuters had to rubberneck their way around yet another wrong way wreck as officials from the Washington State Patrol (WSP) painstakingly conducted their investigation.
According to a WSP statement, the details of the incident begin with a 21-year-old Richland driver, in a Subaru Forester, who was heading eastbound on I-182 near milepost 10 within the city limits of Pasco. Concurrently, another driver, a 35-year old woman from Richland in a Range Rover, was heading westbound in the same general area when the vehicle driven by the 21-year old, for no known official reason as of this writing, left the roadway, crossed the median and entered the westbound lane.
