Gig Harbor, WA — There were two major pileup accidents this past Tuesday (September 23, 2014) that left several people injured, including one person with critical injuries. Police said that both accidents happened on Tuesday afternoon along Route 16, near the Tremont in Port Orchard and Wollechet in Gig Harbor.
The first accident happened in Gig Harbor, where a semi-truck overturned and lost the dirt load it was carrying. This happened on Route 16 near the Wollochet exit. The truck took up all the lanes of traffic, causing one SUV to lose control and overturn. Two people were taken to hospitals in that accident, both in serious condition.
The second accident happened along Route 16 in Port Orchard, at the Tremont exit. An SUV had gotten into an accident while trying to enter the highway, police said, which caused traffic to slow down.
As the traffic slowed down, a dump truck crashed into the cars and critically injured at least one person. One other person was taken to a hospital as well, but their condition wasn’t listed.
Police said they’re investigating both crashes.
