Everett, WA — May 2, 2025, a 13-year-old boy was fatally injured following an e-bike accident at around 4:30 p.m. along 5th Avenue.
Preliminary information about the accident indicates it happened near the intersection of 5th Ave. and 90th Street SW.
In initial statements, authorities say that a 13-year-old boy was on an e-bike riding through the neighborhood. In a series of events unclear, the boy somehow struck a cable that was on a property strung between two objects. The cable struck the boy in the neck, and he ultimately sustained fatal injuries.
Right now, additional details about the accident are unavailable.
Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
There are some specifics about this cable that aren't entirely clear right now. One has to consider if the placement of that cable was not only allowed but also responsible. If it was a clear hazard, it may be that all this could have been easily avoided. Hopefully authorities are working to consider that possibility so this family knows they're getting the answers they deserve.
