On Monday morning, a traffic collision in Kennewick hospitalized 22-year-old Cassandra Welch and a 9-month-old child.
As per the initial information, the single-vehicle crash took place near the Blue Bridge just after 1 a.m. The early reports indicated that Cassandra Welch, from West Richland, was traveling eastbound on State Route 240, on the ramp to northbound SR 395.
At some point, Welch failed to maintain control of her car as a result of which the vehicle swerved off the roadway, hit a Jersey barrier, went over all lanes and struck a guardrail. On arrival, emergency personnel transported Welch and a 9-month-old child in the car to area hospitals with unspecified injuries.
Both the victims were not wearing seatbelts at the time of the collision. It is unclear if drugs or alcohol played a factor in the accident. Charges are pending against Welch, officials said. No other details are available.
An investigation is ongoing.
