Distracted driving blamed for wreck that injured Benton City child

WASHTUCNA – A little girl is hurt after she was involved in a rollover wreck on SR 26 between Lind and Washtucna on Tuesday. Washington State Troopers say 26-year-old Courtney Redinger of Benton City was going west in an SUV on SR 26 when she apparently lost control of the vehicle, skidded off the roadway, and rolled several times, before coming to a stop on the eastbound embankment. Courtney was unhurt, but 6-year-old Suzanna Redinger was injured and taken to Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane for treatment. Troopers determined that distracted driving caused the crash.
