Bellevue mother killed, 2 kids hurt in Chelan County crash

CASHMERE, Wash. -- A Bellevue mother was killed Thursday night when she swerved to avoid a tire and crashed her SUV on State Route 2 in Chelan County. The woman swerved to avoid the tire, lost control of her Toyota 4Runner and rolled off onto the westbound shoulder, according to Wright. The woman was killed in the wreck. The man driving the truck that was towing the boat trailer was not injured. Her two children were injured, but Wright said both are expected to survive.

After an injury car accident, take these steps to help the recovery process

When someone has been injured in a car crash, it's hard to know what to do to help. Injured people need appropriate medial treatment, but they also need to have their civil and legal rights protected.

After a serious crash, several steps need to be taken, including dealing with the insurance companies, tracking and documenting lost income from missed work, coordinating medical bill payments, and handling an insurance claim.

Thanks Ron for telling us about the Dangerous Trailers site. I have never seen it before, and I learned a lot about the current state of legislation related to trailers on our roadways. This awful crash really points out the need for more regulation and inspection of trailers so that crashes like this never happen again. Our condolences to the Morris family for their loss.

Christine was my sister-in

Christine was my sister-in-law and I've been searching for answers on why this had to happen. She was a beautiful amazing wife and mother. The kids were her whole life. They were banged up but will be fine physically and they are at home now with my brother and many friends and family. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they all have a long road ahead of them. This has taught me a lesson to always tell your loved ones, friends, that you love them because you never know if the last time you got together will be the last time. She will be dearly missed in my family.

She will be missed. Take care

Christine was an angel. We worked together (I was one of her customers) and I'm so saddened by this news. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Cherish every day.
