ARLINGTON — A fatal crash on I-5 Sunday morning was likely caused when a medical emergency caused a man to lose control of his pickup truck, the Washington State Patrol said.
It happened around 10:20 a.m. in the northbound lanes near mile post 206.
Troopers suspect the man suffered the medical problem before his 2013 Honda Ridgeline left the freeway and struck a fence. A state patrol press memo labeled the crash a “non-traffic fatality collision.”
The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office will investigate the cause and manner of the death.
