YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - A young Washington man has been charged with vehicular assault after authorities say he crashed into an apartment injuring a woman living there.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reports that 18-year-old Alejandro Rosario Brambila was charged this week after his car hit a curb and went through the Yakima apartment wall trapping a 55-year-old woman underneath.
Authorities say the woman was taken to the hospital and transferred to a Seattle medical center with a deep gash and one of her legs almost cut off.
Authorities say a passenger in the car told police Brambila was racing another car at the time of the crash.
Police say Brambila had watery, red eyes and smelled of alcohol.
Brambila is free on bail and arraignment is scheduled for Sept. 9 in Yakima County Superior Court.
