POULSBO — A crash late on Friday left a Marysville man dead, and injured five of his passengers.
Diandre Edgecombe, 25, of Marysville, was turning southbound on Highway 3 shortly before midnight when his 1993 Dodge struck a northbound 2002 Toyota pickup, according to a Washington State Patrol press release. The crash happened about 3 miles north of Poulsbo.
Edgecombe was dead at the scene. Three of his passengers, including a 1-year-old boy, were airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with serious injuries. The boy suffered a head injury.
Medics drove two other passengers to a local hospital with injuries that didn’t appear to be life-threatening, the patrol said.
The driver of the Toyota, a 46-year-old Bainbridge Island man, wasn’t hurt.
Investigators determined that drugs or alcohol may have been a factor in the crash, according to the patrol.
