2-Car Collision on Hovander Road Led to Injury [Ferndale, WA]

Ferndale, WA (February 13, 2026) — A two-vehicle collision on Hovander Road sent one driver to the hospital Wednesday afternoon.

Officers with the Ferndale Police Department and firefighters from Whatcom County Fire District 7 responded to the crash around 1:50 p.m. at Hovander Road and Main Street.

Investigators determined that a driver turning west onto Main Street failed to fully stop at a posted stop sign and was struck head-on by a vehicle traveling eastbound.

One driver suffered a head laceration and was transported to a hospital for treatment. Authorities arrested the at-fault driver on suspicion of driving with a suspended license and issued citations for lacking insurance and failing to make a complete stop.

Traffic accidents can happen in the blink of an eye — but their effects can last a lifetime. Every time you get behind the wheel, remember: staying alert and making safe choices can save lives. Avoid distractions, never drive under the influence, and always wear your seatbelt. Follow speed limits, keep a safe distance from other vehicles, and watch out for pedestrians and cyclists who share the road with you.

Take that extra moment to look both ways and yield cautiously at intersections — sometimes, that one second of attention can prevent a serious or even life-threatening crash.

Sweet Lawyers urges all motorists to come to complete stops at intersections, maintain valid licenses and insurance, and stay alert to help prevent serious injuries on the road.
