A 40-year old man and three children are recovering after
a suspected drunk driver jumped a curb and crashed into
all four of them in Everett on Tuesday.
Everett police say the 31-year-old driver was
traveling north on Broadway Avenue near 26th
Street, when
she swerved onto the sidewalk, and hit the man, a teen, an
8-year-old, and 2-year-old.
“They’re probably really lucky. What ended up happening is
the vehicle struck a pole, a light pole, before hitting
the four pedestrians,” says Aaron Snell, with the Everett
Police Department.
Snell says the 40-year-old and teen suffered more severe
injuries. One of the victims had two broken legs. The
other victim was believed to have a broken ankle. The two
children suffered minor injuries.
Police say the investigation is still ongoing.
“It’s unknown why she actually swerved onto the sidewalk,”
says Snell. “It is believed that she’s possibly under the
influence of alcohol, but unfortunately we’re going to
have to wait for the results of a blood draw to confirm
those suspicions.”
