WSP: Jay Silva, Abdullah Azimi Injured in Castle Rock Collision

CASTLE ROCK, WA, (May 31, 2026) — Two Oregon men were hospitalized Sunday night following a multi-vehicle collision on Interstate 5 in Cowlitz County, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Troopers said the crash occurred at approximately 11:35 p.m. near milepost 51 in Castle Rock. A Chevrolet Silverado transporting a Toyota Prius southbound on I-5 was struck in its trailer by a Toyota Corolla.

Investigators said the impact pushed the trailer and the Prius into the rear of the Silverado, causing significant damage to the vehicles involved.

The driver of the Silverado, Jay Silva, 34, of Oregon City, and passenger Abdullah Azimi, 19, of Hillsboro, were injured in the crash. Both men were transported to PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center in Longview with injuries that were not specified by authorities.

The Washington State Patrol noted that Silva and Azimi were wearing seat belts at the time of the collision.

The driver of the Toyota Corolla, a 19-year-old Longview resident, was not injured. Troopers cited the driver for second-degree negligent driving.

ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION NEEDED

The WSP stated that the collision was caused by “speed too fast for conditions.”

Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, said that crashes of this nature should be independently reviewed to help protect the rights of injured victims.

“Roadway conditions, visibility, and lighting are among the factors that investigators carefully evaluate following a collision,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal. “In some cases, accident reconstruction specialists are needed to determine exactly how a crash occurred. These resources can be critical when pursuing compensation for damages or losses resulting from an accident.”

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicle crashes injure approximately 1.9 million people annually in the United States. Common causes include speeding, impaired driving, distracted driving, failure to remain in the proper lane, and failure to yield the right of way.

“Time is of the essence in cases such as this, and victims must be ensured that evidence is reviewed in an efficient manner,” said Bond, a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “Alongside the efforts of law enforcement, an attorney can investigate contributing factors, retain expert witnesses, conduct driver background checks, locate witnesses, and review applicable insurance policies. Legal representation can help accident victims navigate a difficult period while safeguarding their rights and interests.”


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS

Pending results of the investigation, Jay Silva and Abdullah Azimi may be entitled to personal injury claims for damages covering medical and rehabilitation costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional trauma.

“Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to help recover expenses related to their injuries and recovery,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal. “Insurance companies are often focused on minimizing payouts despite the growing costs an injured person may face. An attorney can assist in protecting victims’ rights and pursuing fair compensation. We work every day to hold insurance companies accountable for the damages caused by these incidents.”
