According to Tacoma Police, the woman was injured just after closing time at the Backstage Bar & Grill on Sixth Avenue, when a large number of cars were trying to leave the parking lot at the same time. “One of the drivers became impatient and decided to back up and go another direction,” said Tacoma Police Lt. David O’Dea. “When they did so, they backed up at a relatively high rate of speed, hitting a car behind them and pushing that car into another car.” An occupant of the third car was seriously injured in the collision, police said, and was taken to St. Joseph Medical Center.
