Redmond Police reports: We had a head on collision yesterday about 3:00 p.m. in the 6400 block of East Lake Sammamish that closed the road for about 90 minutes.
A Land Rover driving northbound swerved into the southbound lane hitting a truck. The driver of the Land Rover, a 40 year old Sammamish female, was rushed to Harborview with injuries to her head. She was in critical condition last night and in intensive care today. The driver of the truck and her daughter did not sustain major injuries. The cause of the collision is still under investigation, however, speed does not appear to be a factor.
The important message in this one is that the driver rushed to the hospital was not wearing her seatbelt, which may have prevented serious injuries."

2 years ago or so a high school student was seriously injured in a car/bus collision. No extra information that could potentially be used as a learning opportunity was released. It is good to see the Redmond Police recognizing the opportunity for education in a case like this. I wonder if it would be possible for them to re-examine their public comments in the other case to see if another learning opportuity exists.
