A horrifying accident recently took place in Enumclaw, which took away two lives. On Sunday, October 13, 2024, three cars crashed along State Route 410, and its consequences have shaken people. As the crash began with a car in which a 63-year-old woman was traveling, she will allegedly face vehicular charges.
Per Washington State Patrol (WSP), a deadly car crash took place near Enumclaw, Washington, before 11:45 am. Authorities confirmed how the 63-year-old woman's car entered the eastbound lanes from the westbound ones to pass multiple vehicles. However, as she attempted to re-enter the westbound lanes, it collided with another car. The second car, which had a 72-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman, lost control and entered the opposite lane. This further led to another vehicle colliding with the car on SR 410.
The authorities confirmed that the older man and woman from the second car lost their lives following the Enumclaw accident. Moreover, two other people allegedly suffered life-threatening injuries. They were taken to a Seattle hospital by a helicopter.
The first responders to the accident were the bystanders. They tried to save the two victims' lives by giving them CPR. WSP acknowledged their efforts and penned:
"We also want to send a special thank you to all the citizens that were involved in the heroic measures attempting to save the two victim’s lives." "It did not go unnoticed," they added.
