LAKE STEVENS — Police suspect intoxication played a role in a fatal collision Sunday night that left one woman dead.

Around 9:05 p.m., a northbound car in the 1110 block of Vernon Road crossed the center line into the southbound lane, colliding with a pickup truck, according to the Lake Stevens Police Department.

A woman was pronounced dead at the scene, investigators said. A statement from police did not say which car she was in, and a police spokesperson did not respond to a Herald reporter’s phone calls.

A man and another woman were also taken to a hospital with injuries that weren’t considered life-threatening.

Criminal charges were “pending,” investigators say. It remained an active investigation Monday.
