Point Defiance crash kills 1 of 4 teens in car

A teenage boy died Friday after the car he was riding in wrecked along Five Mile Drive in Point Defiance Park, Tacoma police said. The boy was one of four teenagers — two other boys and a girl — traveling through the park about 4:45 p.m., police spokeswoman Loretta Cool said.

The 17-year-old driver of a car involved in a fatal crash in Tacoma has been charged with vehicular homicide. The Pierce County prosecutor filed the charge Monday against Eduardo Francisco Francisco-Andres in juvenile court. A hearing will be held next week to determine if he will be prosecuted as an adult, which would mean a tougher sentence if convicted.  The crash killed 15-year-old Alex Ramirez.What money damages are recoverable in a death claim? Every death from an accident is tragic. When a death is the result of someone else’s negligence, certain survivors may make a wrongful death claim against those responsible. Close relatives may recover monetary damages for the loss of financial support, as well as for medical, funeral, and burial expenses, lost earnings, and in some cases for pain, suffering, and loss of love and affection. Learn more about Tacoma car death claims here…
