Tacoma, WA (November 26, 2025) – A serious two-vehicle crash left several people injured on Wednesday afternoon, November 26, in Tacoma. The collision occurred around 2:08 p.m. near the intersection of South 38th Street and South Mary Street.
Emergency responders rushed to the intersection and found two vehicles with heavy damage blocking the roadway. Paramedics treated the victims at the scene before taking them to a nearby hospital for further care.
Authorities closed South 38th Street for several hours while investigators examined the wreckage and collected evidence. Officers interviewed witnesses and reviewed nearby surveillance footage to understand how the collision occurred. The Tacoma Police Department continues to investigate the cause of the crash.
Car Accidents in Washington
Car accidents remain one of the most common causes of serious injury across Washington, particularly in urban areas like Tacoma. Heavy traffic, unpredictable driving behavior, and limited visibility all increase the risk of a collision. Even a single impact can leave victims facing long hospital stays, rehabilitation, and emotional trauma.
Common causes of car accidents across the state include:
- Distracted driving and inattention behind the wheel
- Aggressive lane changes or following too closely
- Fatigued or drowsy driving during peak travel hours
- Poor road conditions or vehicle malfunctions
Severe accidents can result in broken bones, internal bleeding, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. Brain injuries are especially serious. The brain is a soft and delicate organ, making it especially vulnerable during sudden impacts. Even a moderate collision can lead to dizziness, memory loss, headaches, or mood changes. Symptoms may take hours or days to appear, which is why early medical evaluation is essential.
