07/02/2007: "And Another Multi-Vehicle Accident On SJI"

The holiday week is not getting off to a very good start accident wise. First there was the accident on Madden Lane (story below), and then Monday, another multi-vehicle accident occurred on San Juan Island.

In the latest accident, a car stops in the road at the entrance to Lake Dale Resort, and a tractor-trailer rig coming north bound on Roche Harbor road locks up the brakes in an attempt to stop, but the truck begins a braking jackknife into the south bound lane. Heading southbound, the driver of a SUV sees the truck, hits their brakes, but the sliding truck hits side the side of the SUV, causing it to hit head-on into the end of the guard rail.



A second southbound SUV is following behind the first one veers to the right to avoid the occurring accident, and in the process picks-off a bicyclist; the SUV and the bicycle heads down the hill, stopping just short of going into the lake.

Aid attends to the driver of the SUV and the bicyclist. The truck driver and his passenger, and the driver of the second SUV and his passenger were uninjured.
