Poulsbo, WA : One seriously injured in four-car collision on 305 near Lincoln Road on Monday, August 15, 2016

At 4:10 p.m., Aug. 15, one driver was seriously injured and the occupants of three other cars were shaken up when an older Toyota Camry slammed into the back of three cars stopped at the traffic light on Highway 305 at Lincoln Road.

Units from the Poulsbo Fire Department, Poulsbo Police Department and the Kitsap County Sheriff responded to the collision, which tied up traffic in both directions.

“Traffic had slowed for a red light,” said Scott George, the driver of the third car in the collision. “All of sudden — wham! — everything flew up in the air and my car slammed into the car in front of me and they hit the car in front of them. I looked around to see what happened, but I didn’t move until I checked myself out.”

George, who lives on Bainbridge Island, was on his way to get a haircut. The couple in the car in front of him that his was catapulted into was also driven by two Bainbridge residents, Xavier Valdez and Jade Escamilla. They were on their way into Poulsbo to have dinner. The car at the front of the crash suffered minimal damage and its occupants did not leave the car to be interviewed.

George, Valdez and Escamilla were all wearing seatbelts. The occupant of the last car in the collision told emergency personnel that his seatbelt was broken, so he was not wearing it.
On the sidewalk after the collision, Larry Barich watched his wife, Konni Barich, a nurse, respond to the scene before the paramedics arrived.
