On Tuesday, 47-year-old Eliseo Dumalo of Cheney, and 43-year-old Christopher Butler sustained injuries following a multi-vehicle pile-up on Interstate 90.
The incident happened at around 5 p.m., wherein eight vehicles were involved. 33-year-old Camilla Zachary from Spokane on her Ford Explorer was eastbound on Interstate 90. She hit the median and pushed the barrier into westbound traffic. Four children were in her vehicle ranging from 2 to 12 years old when the crash took place.
A Honda Accord deviated to get out of the way of the barrier but it struck the concrete, as did a GMC Sierra. The Honda also hit a Buick and a GMC Canyon collided with another GMC that already hit the barrier. A GMC Sierra then hit the barrier, followed by a Dodge Ram and a Honda Civic that struck debris.
Zachary did not suffer any injuries but officers confirmed a citation to her on suspicion of driving with a suspended license, wheels over the center line and a seat belt violation. On arrival, paramedics took the 2-year-old boy in Zachary’s vehicle to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center. The other children in her car did not sustain any injuries.
Dumalo, the Honda Accord driver suffered injuries in the accident and medics took him to the hospital. Butler, driver of the first GMC Sierra, was also injured. Reports revealed that the drivers of the last five vehicles were not injured. None of the involved cars were wrecked but five sustained reportable damage.
An investigation is underway.
