Seattle Car Accident Attorney | Driver of Stolen Truck Dies in Wreck

Blog Categories:

Aggressive driving is one of the most dangerous activities that we see on our highways across the nation and here in Washington State. As a Seattle aggressive driving accident attorney, I see entirely too many people who are injured needlessly by drivers behaving erratically and dangerously. The Washington State Patrol has issued a press release Thursday morning concerning a man who wrecked a stolen pick-up truck while being chased by a Trooper, killing himself in the process. The chase started when the trooper saw the truck driving erratically and pulled into traffic to follow. After observing multiple instances of aggressive driving, the trooper turned on his lights, which were ignored by the driver. As the driver attempted to elude the trooper, he drove off the road and was thrown from the vehicle. Although several vehicles were affected by his driving, no one else appears to have been injured.

This example of aggressive driving was very obviously a terrible threat to the other drivers on the road, and it is very fortunate that no one else was injured. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports over 30,000 traffic fatalities annually across the country. The Washington State Patrol believes that about 40% of fatal crashes are speeding related. In many cases, the fatality may be to someone other than the aggressive driver. Each of these fatalities leaves family members to mourn the sudden loss, and try to put together the pieces of their lives.
