The Washington State Patrol arrested a 47-year-old Kent man for investigation of vehicular assault after his pickup collided with two other vehicles at about 1:10 p.m. Wednesday at the intersection of State Route 516 and Meeker Street.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Paramedics transported a 28-year-old Kent woman to Valley Medical Center in Renton for treatment, according to a State Patrol media release. The woman was treated for minor injuries and released Wednesday, a hospital spokeswoman said Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The 2002 Nissan pickup was traveling westbound on State Route 516 when it reportedly turned left on a red light at Meeker Street and collided with a silver 2006 Honda Civic, driven by the Kent woman, and a 2005 Ford Freestyle, driven by a Seattle man.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Civic and minivan were traveling east on State Route 516 in the left lane as they moved into the intersection with Meeker Street on a green light. The pickup hit the Civic in the driver’s side. The Civic then rotated and struck the right side of the minivan.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Both the pickup and Civic were totaled. The Kent man and Seattle man were uninjured.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the accident, according to the State Patrol.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The accident delayed traffic for about two hours.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
