Car crash leads to stabbing in Pierce County, one man taken to hospital with injuries

A car crash in Frederickson took a drastic turn when a man stabbed the other Friday night.

Between 5 and 6 p.m., there was a crash involving two vehicles at 176th Street East and Canyon Road East. Both drivers go out of their cars and began arguing, Pierce County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Darren Moss told The News Tribune.

A man who drove a light green SUV stabbed the other man during the heated exchange. The alleged stabber then got into his car and drove off north on Canyon Road East, Moss said.

The victim was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
