Pasco woman injured in blue bridge crash

A Pasco woman was injured early Friday afternoon in a two-car collision on the blue bridge.

Melissa J. Pacheco, 23, was driving north in a Chevrolet Cruze on Highway 395 going across the bridge when she slowed down with traffic, the Washington State Patrol said.

That’s when the Chevrolet Tahoe driven by Olivia Morfin de Espinoza, 38, also of Pasco, rear-ended Pacheco.

Pacheco was taken to Trios Medical Center with unknown injuries. Both vehicles were towed from the scene.

Morfin de Espinoza was cited for following too close.
