Fatal Crash on Avondale Punctuates the Need for Speed Enforcement

Sadly, a 30-year-old Kirkland man was killed early this morning on Avondale. The Seattle Times reports:

Alcohol and speed were to blame in the crash that killed a 30-year-old Kirkland man early this morning who lost control of his car on Avondale Road Northeast, struck several trees and landed on the side of the road, police said.

Investigators determined the man was driving more than 100 miles an hour and not wearing a seat belt, police said.

Our team has put enforcement of the current 40 MPH speed limit as a priority item on the agenda.
