An 18-year-old woman was transported to Skagit Valley Hospital after sustaining critical injuries in a car accident in downtown Stanwood Thursday afternoon.
The two-car accident happened near the intersection of 88th Avenue NW and 271st Street NW at about 3:30 p.m.
The woman’s Mustang convertible was struck by a pickup truck heading south on 88th Avenue NW. The driver of the pickup was uninjured. Neither car had any passengers and there were no other injuries.
Aid crews requested that the woman be transported by helicopter to a Harborview hospital, but bad weather in Arlington kept the chopper grounded, said Darin Reid, assistant chief with the Stanwood-Camano Island Fire Department. Instead, she was taken by ground to the closest hospital.
