EVERETT – Detectives are investigating a fatal crash as a vehicular homicide. The crash on Evergreen Way killed a young man on Friday night.
An Everett man in his 20s was killed after his southbound Toyota collided with a northbound Acura Integra in the 9000 block of Evergreen Way about 6:20 p.m. on Friday.
Detectives believe that the driver of the Integra was racing with another driver prior to the crash, Everett police Sgt. Robert Goetz said.
The victim’s Toyota was t-boned as he was turning left into a driveway. He was dead at the scene.
Witnesses told police a car painted white or primer grey, similar to a Dodge Neon, was seen racing with the Integra on northbound Evergreen Way before the crash. Detectives want to talk to the driver of that car. They are asking the public to help identify that driver. They also hope friends will encourage that person to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Everett police tip line at 425-257-8450.
The driver of the Integra, a Lynnwood man in his 20s, has been cooperating with police. There is currently no indication that drugs or alcohol were a factor in this case, Goetz said.
When the investigation is complete, the case will be forwarded to the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office for review. No arrests were made as of Monday afternoon.
