DUI Driver Seriously Injures Two People in Two Separate Collisions

Spokane, WALocal News

Cautia McArthur, 19, faces multiple felony charges after causing two serious crashes in Spokane on Sunday night. At 7:43 PM, police responded to a report of a pedestrian collision at Maxwell Ave. and Washington St. , where McArthur fled after hitting a pedestrian attempting to stop her. The pedestrian, who suffered life-threatening injuries, was a passenger in the vehicle involved in the initial minor crash.

Just two minutes later, McArthur ran a stop sign at Monroe St. and Alice Ave. , colliding with another vehicle and causing extensive damage to several parked cars. The second victim also sustained serious injuries from the crash. Spokane Police have observed a troubling rise in impaired driving incidents, while the state of Washington experienced a decline in 2024.

The department currently employs two full-time DUI enforcement officers to address this issue. Citizens are encouraged to report suspected impaired drivers by calling 911.
