Second street racing crash in Tacoma leaves 7 injured

TACOMA, Wash. - Seven people were injured to varying degrees following a street racing crash in Tacoma. This crash comes just over two days after another street racing crash in the city injured a family of four.

Around 1:30 a.m. on July 16, Tacoma Police responded to reports of a two-car crash in the 5600 block of Marine View Drive.

Seven people were injured and taken to nearby hospitals. Of those seven people, one has life-threatening injuries and four others were listed in "serious" condition.

A witness told police that one car appeared to have been racing another car through the curves of Marine View Drive when one of the vehicles hit another head-on. The vehicle hit head-on was not involved in the racing.

The second car that was seen racing the at-fault vehicle did not remain at the scene.
