Jessica M. Derosie, 20, of Coeur d’Alene, was headed east on I-90 near Liberty Lake around 9:30 last night when her Pontiac Sunfire suddenly swerved left, drove through a cable barrier into the median and then began rolling. This ejected Derosie out of the driver’s side window and onto the side of the road. After a few flips the car came to rest on its roof.
She was not wearing a seat belt, Washington State Patrol troopers said.
The injury accident closed I-90 while a Northwest Medstar helicopter evacuated her to Providence Sacred Heart Hospital where she is listed in critical condition.
Troopers investigating the scene believe the auto accident was caused by excessive speed and that no drugs or alcohol were involved.
Our thoughts go with Derosie as she struggles in the hospital.
This highlights the absolute importance of wearing a seatbelt every time you drive no matter how far you may travel. Roads can be unpredictable, especially at high speeds, and whether it is an animal or a new pot hole, the hazards can change your life in an instant.
If you get into a car accident it is important that you find out your legal options. Call Phillips Webster for a consultation.
