A New York man was arrested after his vehicle crashed into another motorist’s vehicle on State Route 3 and caused weekend traffic to back up for about an hour on May 31.
According to a Washington State Patrol report, Quadrel Carrington, 24, of West Hempstead, New York, was charged with DUI and resisting arrest.
Carrington’s 2007 Chevrolet pickup truck was stopped next to the guardrail in the left lane of State Route 3 near Chico Way around 4:20 p.m. when a 47-year-old Poulsbo motorist stopped to help.
The Poulsbo driver parked his 2011 Honda Accord in front of Carrington’s truck and exited his vehicle. A 58-year-old female passenger remained in the Poulsbo driver’s car.
Carrington’s truck then rammed into the Honda with the passenger still inside.
Law enforcement officers arrived at the scene and detained Carrington.
The passenger was wearing a seatbelt and was treated by medics at the scene.
