A crash on Slater Road sent one person to St. Joseph hospital as a precaution Tuesday, Oct. 23, but details were scarce the following day.
Here’s what we heard over the police scanner at about 5:30 p.m.
Two-car crash at S Red River and Slater. “We’re gonna need two aid cars.” Cuts to woman’s face & body; man has chest pain. #ferndale

(Sorry about the typo in that last tweet.)
I talked with Washington State Patrol Leary this morning. He didn’t have the paperwork in front of him and the crash investigator has since gone off duty, so Leary couldn’t pass along much info.
But he said only one person was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Traffic on Slater was rerouted for a little more than an hour.
I’m so thankful we have somebody there to twitter everything that happens. I hope you don’t get paid for this.
How’d you get stuck with this blog, Caleb?
It comes with the cops beat. I like doing it. It’s a good place to put all the stuff that doesn’t quite make it into print.
Caleb, if you’re happy, I’m happy.
If you have any pull with BPD please ask them to station a car at the corner of Railroad and Chestnut Street.
I will personally bring them coffee and donuts if they stop the fights and all the racket from The Underground; the Underground is worse than Rumors and Cap Hansen’s put together.
