2 juveniles struck by car Saturday night while walking in a crosswalk in Pasco
PASCO, Wash. - Pasco Police and EMTs were dispatched to the intersection of 8th Ave. and Lewis St. around 8:15 Saturday night from reports of a vehicle collision involving pedestrians. When officials arrived, they found 2 juvenile females on the ground. Both were alive and transported from the scene to a local hospital with unknown injuries.
Officials say the driver pulled over and was cooperating with police at the scene. It was suspected that the driver was under the influence so police did field tests. The suspect was placed under arrest and is being investigated for vehicular assault and DUI.
