Truck Driver Doesn’t See Car When Changing Lanes in Pasco

Imagine a semi-truck pulling a trailer moving into your lane, right at your car. One Kennewick man doesn’t have to imagine any more.

Armando Fabian-Estrada, a 34-year-old man, was driving a green 1996 Nissan Maxima west on state Route 12 near Lewis Street in Pasco Monday evening.

His car was hit when a black 2016 Peterbilt semi-truck and trailer changed lanes, according to the state patrol.

He was hurt and taken to Lourdes Medical Center. His status is not known.

The truck driver is 37-year-old Jerado Ramos from Burbank.

The WSP said Ramos wasn’t paying attention when he changed lanes and they wrote him a ticket for failure to yield the right of way.
