A Ridgefield man caused a second crash after he allegedly tried to film the scene of a fatal crash while he was driving. Devin Braithwaite, 19, was driving a 2011 Dodge Charger south on Interstate 5 near the Northeast 179th Street Friday night when he approached the scene of an earlier fatal crash. Earlier in the evening, Sergey A. Bondarchuk, 18, of Vancouver lost control of a 1997 Acura sedan and struck a tree. He was declared dead at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center. While passing the scene, Braithwaite tried to record the scene with his cell phone.
