A man in an SUV allegedly backed into a Camaro on purpose. The drivers started to argue, and the suspect reportedly stabbed the other man. He was treated at the scene.

The SUV driver fled. Deputies chased him at speeds of more than 100 mph on southbound I-5, Highway 520 and Woodinville-Duvall Road.

The SUV went off the road near Woodinville High School. The suspect was shot soon after, according to a news release.
