SNOHOMISH — The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office on Tuesday identified the two men who died early Sunday in a car crash near Snohomish.
The driver, Jamie Paul Lyon, 39, of Everett and one passenger, Derrick Thomas Kenney*, 27, of Coupeville died as a result of head injuries, the medical examiner said. The deaths were ruled accidental.

A third passenger, an Everett man, 26, received minor injuries and was taken to an Everett hospital and then released.
The crash remains under investigation.
