A pedestrian-car collision near Selah High School on Friday evening left a 17-year-old girl with serious injuries, adding to a weekend of traffic-related incidents that kept local law enforcement on high alert.

NO CROSSWALK IN THE AREA WHERE SHE WAS CROSSING

The Washington State Patrol reported that Chloey Perkins was struck at about 7:11 PM while crossing North First Street at the intersection with Wernex Loop Road. Witnesses stated Perkins was walking in the intersection when she was hit by a vehicle driven by a 39-year-old Selah resident. The crash site, noted for the absence of a nearby crosswalk, has raised concerns from community members about pedestrian safety in the area.

NO CHARGES EXPECTED AGAINST THE DRIVER

After initial treatment at Multicare Yakima Memorial Hospital, Perkins was transferred to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for further care. Authorities confirmed that no charges are expected against the driver, who was reportedly traveling below the speed limit at the time of the incident.
