Even if alcohol or drugs are not involved, Mother Nature can make a roundabout treacherous. Late Thursday night into early Friday morning, Kennewick police got a report of a crash at the roundabout at 4th and Union.  When they arrived no vehicle was present, but plenty of evidence...

No different than the ones at 4th and Union, or others. Around 2:55am Friday morning officers were dispatched to 4th and Kellogg where they found Alexander Tanner (age not listed) and his car...

Most of the accidents involving roundabouts in Kennewick over the last six months have involved intoxication of some sort. This one did not, but another lesson in distracted driving!
