Not long ago, we blogged about a Seattle car accident caused by a man’s steering wheel falling off. On Friday afternoon, another bizarre incident occurred when a van lost both rear wheels while driving down Highway 3.

The unusual rollover collision occurred in Kitsap County near Thompson Road. After losing both rear wheels, the 1972 Ford vehicle strayed to the middle of the road and rolled over. The top of the van came off causing four passengers to fall out of the vehicle.
Five people suffered personal injuries in the car accident. A 39- year-old man, a 35-year-old woman, and a 4-year-old girl were taken to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton. They have since been released.

Two other children, a 10-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy, suffered critical injuries. They were taken directly to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where they are being treated. The 10-year-old girl is still in serious condition. We hope both children have an easy recovery.

Countless auto accidents can be prevented by not only driving responsibly, but also by monitoring the conditions of our vehicles. Over time our vehicles deteriorate and become increasingly dangerous to operate. As drivers it is important to remember that our vehicles can endanger us if we are not careful. So please reduce the number of unnecessary auto accidents by simply getting a routine tune-up for your vehicle.
