Yakima Farmer Critically Injured When His Tractor Rear-ended by Drunk Driver
This is a new one for me as a urban based Car Accident Lawyer here in Kirkland, Washington. A report out of the Yakima Herald details how a local farmer, Ramon Camacho, was driving his tractor while pulling a sprayer last night at about 9:30 p.m. on Clark Road in Yakima, Washington. When a car suddenly smashed into the rear-end of the tractor seriously injuring the farmer driving the tractor.
The farmer was airlift to Harborview Medical Center trauma unit in Seattle for treatment of his critical injuries. The car that rear-ended the tractor was a 2004 Ford Focus driven by Joy Douglus of Zillah, Washington, who was not injured in the crash. The Ford Focus was destroyed in the accident and Ms. Douglas was arrested under investigation of vehicle assault and drunk driving.
The farmer Mr. Camacho is currently in the intesive care unit at Harborview. My prayers will be with him for a full recovery from his injuries.
