[Vision2020] MPD Press Release

[Art Deco]

I hope that more serious charges than inattentive driving are brought and vigorously pursued.  

How many more of these incidents are going to occur before the MPD and the city attorney decide that traffic law enforcement needs a lot more attention and vigor?

  PRESS RELEASE

   

  February 15, 2010

   

  On Sunday, February 14, 2010, at 2104 hours, Moscow Police, Fire and Volunteer Ambulance Service were dispatched to a traffic accident with injuries at the intersection of Sixth and Asbury Streets. Whitcom dispatch advised three pedestrians were struck by a vehicle at this location.   

   

  Officers observed two women on the north sidewalk in a prone position being attended to by two males upon their arrival.  These women were identified as Rachel Price (W/F 19 years old of Moscow) and Ericka Brown W/F 18 year old of Moscow).  Rachel Price complained of head and elbow injuries.  Ericka Brown complained of lower back and hip injuries.  The male attending to Brown, Ryan Stewart (W/M 18 year old of Pullman) stated he had also been struck but did not require medical attention at this time.

   

  Officers determined a Silver 1993 Toyota Camry driven by Travis Hartshorn (W/M 20 years old of Moscow) was driving east on 6th Street.  Hartshorn attempted to turn north (left) on Asbury when he struck the three pedestrians who were walking west in the marked crosswalk along the north side of 6th Street at Asbury.  Brown and Price were stuck by the front of the Toyota as it was turning. Both Brown and Price come into contact with the hood and windshield of the Toyota before being ejected off onto the roadway.  Stewart stated his left leg was clipped by the left front of the Toyota at the same time it struck the two women. 

   

  Rachel Price and Ericka Brown were transported to Gritman Medical Center by Moscow Volunteer Ambulance.  Travis Hartshorn was cited and released for inattentive driving and failure to provide current proof of liability insurance.
