GPS error routes semi-trucks onto narrow streets in DuPont neighborhood
Summary
Semi Truck Crash Dupont Washington in DuPont, Washington: GPS navigation errors routed semi‐trucks onto narrow residential streets in DuPont’s McDonald Avenue, causing multiple crashes with parked vehicles. The issue began when Exit 119 was closed for construction and trucks were temporarily allowed on Center Drive, but GPS systems diverted them to McDonald Avenue instead. Several incidents occurred over several days, including a truck knocking over a street sign and striking parked cars. City crews installed “No Trucks” signs this week to prevent further accidents.
