Man hurt doing ‘donuts’ on Ocean Shores beach
A 30-year-old Tacoma man was taken to an Aberdeen hospital on Sunday after he crashed an ATV, according to the Washington State Patrol.
About 3 p.m. Sunday, the man was headed north on the beach at Ocean Shores, just north of the Illhaee approach, when he rolled the vehicle onto the driver’s side.
Prior to rolling the ATV, described as a Polaris Sidekick, troopers say he had been doing ‘donuts’ on the beach, which is a controlled slide in a circular motion.
His two passengers, both 13-year-old girls, were not hurt.
Troopers say the man faces charges of reckless driving and reckless endangerment.
