The pedestrians struck were a 10-year-old girl and a 12-year-old girl both of Queets.  The 10-year-old died at the scene of the collision, the 12-year-old was airlifted to Mary Bridge Tacoma.  

The 67 year old driver of the vehicle was transported to Community Hospital for precautions. 

The Washington State Patrol says that Alcohol was not a factor, and that charges are pending. 

Commander Green with the Aberdeen Police Department says that while they were on the scene of a barricaded subject with a firearm on Summit Street Thursday Afternoon, a second high priority call came out just blocks away at the Wishkah River Bridge, an incident that stopped all westbound traffic into Aberdeen for 3 hours. The traffic back up was as far away as Central Park 7-11.

At approximately 1:51 PM,  officers received 911 calls about a subject on top of the Wishkah Street Bridge.  Several officers broke free along with the DCR and two CRU Crisis Negotiators. 

The Hoquiam Police Department responded to assist as well as the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office (GHCSO) Marine Unit. 

The DCR and CRU Negotiators were able to partially climb up the structure to attempt to de-escalate the situation. 

Due to the safety of the motoring public, first responders, and the subject on top of the structure, Wishkah Street was closed at the bridge. 

After three and a half hours, the subject climbed down from the top and jumped into the water where the GHCSO Marine Unit was able to reach him. 

Aberdeen Fire Department Paramedics checked on him and he was then taken into custody for disorderly conduct and criminal trespass. 

The subject, a 38 year-old Aberdeen transient, was booked into the Aberdeen City Jail.
