Washington woman arrested after stabbing children following I-5 crash

A 35-year-old woman is facing multiple charges after a violent incident involving a vehicle rollover and a stabbing in DuPont, Washington. On Monday morning, the woman was driving erratically on Interstate 5 when her SUV struck a semi-truck and a concrete barrier, causing the vehicle to roll over several times.

As passengers exited the wreckage, witnesses reported that the woman attempted to stab two children, aged 9 and 15, with a knife. Two soldiers from Joint Base Lewis-McChord who were passing by intervened, subduing the woman and disarming her. The children were transported to a hospital and were reported to be in stable condition.

The woman was taken into custody and is expected to face charges including assault, vehicular assault, and two counts of reckless endangerment.
