Teen seriously injured in Selah pedestrian-car crash

A 17-year-old Selah girl suffered serious injuries in a pedestrian-car crash on Friday night near the Selah High School football stadium.

The Washington State Patrol reported that Chloey Perkins was crossing North First Street in Selah at 7:11 p.m., just after the scheduled kickoff of the East Valley-Selah football game at nearby Karl Graf Stadium.

WSP reported that Perkins crossed First Street at its intersection with Wernex Loop Road outside of the crosswalk and was struck by a southbound 2016 Honda Accord driven by Dario Rubin Lopez, 39, of Selah.

Perkins was transported to MultiCare Yakima Memorial Hospital, then flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with her injuries, the WSP reported.

Lopez was wearing a seat belt and was not injured, police said.

Drugs or alcohol were not involved in the accident, which remains under investigation, WSP reported.
