Teenagers Hospitalized in Northeast 117th Street Solo-Vehicle Crash [Clark County, WA]

Clark County, WA (May 20, 2022) – On Thursday, several teenagers sustained injuries in a Northeast 117th Street solo-vehicle crash.

According to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, nine teenagers were in an eastbound SUV that was traveling too fast to control. 

The vehicle slid toward head-on traffic and jumped the sidewalk before it rolled down a 50-foot ditch.

Officers say all nine occupants crawled out from the vehicle and walked up to the street. 

Immediately, the paramedics arrived and treated the teenagers. Six of them were taken to Randall’s Hospital in Portland with non-fatal injuries.

Officers say all of them were wearing seatbelts when the collision happened.

When behind the wheel of a vehicle, it is your responsibility to ensure the safety of yourself and others around you. Moreover, it is important to always drive within the posted speed limit. Also, slow down if you see traffic stalling ahead to avoid hitting other vehicles.
