EVERETT — At least one person died Tuesday in a six-vehicle crash on Evergreen Way, caused by what police suspected was a medical emergency.
Around 4:30 p.m., a car headed southbound in the 8500 block of Evergreen Way veered into northbound lanes, leading five other cars to crash, Everett officer Natalie Givens said Wednesday.
Investigators believe the driver in the southbound lanes suffered a medical emergency before swerving. Paramedics transported the driver to a nearby hospital, Everett Fire Department spokesperson Rachael Doniger said. The person died there.
The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office will identify the deceased.
A teen with injuries was also taken to the hospital, Doniger said. The teen was released later that evening.
Evergreen was closed for about three hours Tuesday, Givens said.
