Snoqualmie, WALocal News

A 1946 Dodge pickup truck went off the road on June 14, 2025, after a white van allegedly cut it off while traveling eastbound on I-90 near North Bend, Washington. The two occupants slid out of the truck before it ended up on the shoulder, resulting in non-life-threatening injuries. The driver claimed the white van, possibly a Chevy Express, forced them off the road, leading to the crash. Washington State Patrol (WSP) is actively investigating the incident and seeks dash cam footage or witnesses to assist in identifying the van and its driver. This case reflects broader issues of road safety and aggressive driving behaviors that have been rising in Washington State.

The WSP’s outreach for community assistance highlights the critical role of public involvement in enhancing traffic safety. Moreover, incidents like this can prompt discussions on enforcement and driver education initiatives. The outcome of the investigation may influence future traffic safety measures in the area.
