Tacoma man injured in ATV wreck in Ocean Shores

A 30-year-old Tacoma ATV driver was injured just north of the Illahee Approach on the beach in Ocean Shores on Sunday afternoon when he was reportedly spinning donuts on the beach and lost control, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The Tacoma man and two juvenile passengers were doing donuts on the beach when the 2016 Polaris RZR Sidekick all terrain vehicle rolled onto the driver’s side, according to a State Patrol report. Two 13-year-old passengers from Spanaway were not injured. The driver was taken to Grays Harbor Community Hospital with undisclosed injuries.

The driver and one passenger were wearing helmets, but the other juvenile was not, according to the report. Reckless driving was the cause of the accident, according to the State Patrol, and the driver may face that charge as well as a reckless endangerment charge.
