In Washington State auto accident related news, a Mossyrock High School student was killed while crossing an intersection when an unloaded logging truck hit the pickup truck he was riding in.
Fellow friends and students cried and expressed outrage last Wednesday at the site of the auto accident. The students were protesting the lack of a stoplight at the intersection of Williams Road and U.S. Highway 12, where their 17-year-old senior classmate, Ryan Rashoff, died Tuesday afternoon.
Another student, 17-year-old Benjamin Lamotte, was driving the pickup truck. He is still in critical condition at the Madigan Medical Center in Tacoma. If you require a leading auto accident attorney Washington you may want to consider the firm of Jason Newcomb. He can provide an excellent WA car accident attorney for most localities of the state of Washington.Dozens of students had gathered at the scene by 10 a.m. They waved signs demanding a new traffic signal at the intersection.
It is reported that the Washington State Patrol and Washington State Department of Transportation officials at the scene were in agreement that there needs to be better signaling at the intersection where the accident occurred.
Washington State patrol officer, Sgt. Jason Ashley, has been quoted as saying the intersection needs a traffic light to replace the flashing red and yellow caution lights that are there now to reduce the possibility of car/auto accidents in the future.

For his part, Officer Kenneth Aragon might have been given too much to drink by bartenders at the academy, or he may have in fact gotten drunk at another location, causing the crash in the early morning hours on December 3, 2009. There was a gathering to celebrate ‘payday Wednesday,’ a regular event held every other week at the Elysian Park campus. The Los Angeles Police Department is currently investigating the event.
Aragon left the academy around 12:30 a.m. and around 90 minutes later crashed his motorcycle while traveling north on Fletcher Drive. He was only three miles from the academy. Investigators will be looking into the possibility that he visited another bar just before the crash.
In any case, police are investigating how much Aragon had to drink at the academy bar. They are scanning video footage from a security camera in the bar. They are also questioning the two bartenders on duty that night and officers who were drinking with Aragon. If you happen to require a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney I would suggest Ramiro Luis. In California it is a misdemeanor crime to serve alcohol to anyone who is visibly intoxicated.
The Los Angeles Revolver and Athletic Club, a tax-exempt organization that is not part of the department, runs the bar at the academy. It allows only Los Angeles Police Department employees as members. Someone may need the criminal defense attorney, though.
