Fatal Head on Collision in Skagit County Wa.

This terrible tragedy happened in Skagit County Wa. The scene was on Cedardale Rd. just south of Old Highway 99. The date was 12/21/07. An SUV driven by a 21 year old male who chose to drive intoxicated crossed the center line and hit head on with this white Buick Centery. It saddens me to report that the 80 year old driver of the Buick died at the scene. The driver of the roled over SUV was transported to Skagit Valley Hospital and then airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle Wa. He sustained severe injuries as a result of choosing not to use his seatbelt. If the 21 year old over comes his injuries he may be faced with vehicular homicide charges for his choice to drive while intoxicated resulting in the loss of a human life. A very sad situation. A loss of an elder family member just days before Christmas. A young man and his family changed for ever if he survives his injuries. So many consequences for the choice to drive drunk without a seatbelt. :o(
