Kennewick Police respond to four-car crash

Shortly after 9 AM Wednesday morning, Kennewick Police responded to this crash on Clearwater Ave. right in front of Winco Foods, in the 4800 block.

Eastbound Clearwater between Yost and Union was closed for the better part of an hour as Police and wrecker crews cleaned up the debris.

Fortunately, only minor injuries were reported, no specifics yet as to what led to the crash. More information is expected soon.

UPDATE---we have learned the red jeep pictured in the photo was turning onto Clearwater and did not see an oncoming car. The resulting head-on crash also snared two other vehicles, one of which came to stop against the taco truck parked across the street from Winco Foods.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
