It is terrible!! My husband was the witness who saw the entire thing. The guy in the white truck was driving erratically before the collision, passing multiple cars parked at red lights, going through multiple traffic signals, driving on the wrong side of the road at times. He purposely drove into the wrong lane, head on into the sedan and then drove over the sedan , going airborne and hit other vehicles. My husband said from what he observed this wasn't an accident from the person driving the white truck, the person in the white truck purposely and intentionally drove into the wrong lane hitting those cars. My husband stayed at the scene giving his statement to police officers. My heart is broken for the 29 year old man and his family. God, this could have been my husband or my child!!! It could have been any of our loved ones.. what is wrong with people?!!!! My husband works Pacific Power and said just this weekend alone he has seen two incidents that were caused by people driving under the influence. The other one was someone hitting a power pole which he and his crew had to repair. By the way, that seems to be a common occurrence these days as he gets called out frequently from people driving under the influence hitting power poles. C'mon people!! If you are under the influence of alcohol, prescription medications that cause impairment or recreational drugs DO NOT DRIVE!!! Y'all have Uber/Lyft and taxi service. Absolutely no excuse for all this!!!

Was 29 yr old in white truck or silver/grey car?

Which vehicle was the intoxicated driver?

So sad...

Thats sad. May the 29 year old rest peacefully. Condolences to their family.

I’m sorry for the family that lost their loved one. My condolences! This happens way too much in Yakima and the city prosecutors need to put the individuals that kill someone in prison and not let them plead their way out of a conviction. I lost one of our family members (cousin) on 1/29/25 because an intoxicated driver was speeding on 16 ave in Yakima. Killing him instantly and injuring his wife. The kicker is it was his first infraction for dui. He spent just over year in jail but now is out on bail waiting for trial which has been postponed. My thoughts are they are trying to plead this and I’m afraid he’ll get off.

So sad. Prayers to the first responders, friends and family involved.

So sad. Praying for everyone involved

β˜οΈπŸ™ Lord in your mercy be with The grieving family of the Lost soul and loved that was just taken from this Earth too early. 🫑😏

Rest in peace to the Biker brother. This stings just imagining the scene and everyone involved, even the driver who took this man's life. Life is too precious and short. My condolences to the family left behind

How fast was he going?

So sad...

Rip my brother✝️

So tell us why Sarah, the trooper from WSP that killed a motorcyclist driving under the influence, with a BAC twice the limit, is out on bail. Has she been charged with vehicular homicide? Why is the news not keeping up with her case? As far as everyone knows, she isn't going to prison for killing an innocent motorcyclist. Double standards

So heartbreaking πŸ’” people that get arrested for DUI's don't get harsh enough sentences it's really sad 😒

Oh the seatbelt didn't save his life?

Make an example out of this guy already life sentence! This is happening way more often than it should!
