LANGLEY – A 19-year-old woman was taken to Whidbey General Hospital on Saturday evening after two cars collided, according to the State Patrol.
The condition of Kellie Horn, of Clinton, was unknown as of Sunday evening.
The accident happened at the intersection of Highway 525 and Bayview Road around 5 p.m.
Horn was waiting for a traffic signal to change when Betty Drake, 42, of Clinton, struck her car from behind, troopers said.
Drake was not injured.
Darrington: Fire burns near wilderness area
A wildfire was reported Sunday east of Darrington in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, said Marc Hollen, spokesman for the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland, Ore.
At first, officials thought the Green Mountain fire was 500 acres to 1,000 acres, but once a plane flew over it, they revised their estimate to 200 acres, Hollen said.
Lightning appeared to have been the cause, Hollen said.
The fire was burning on the edge of the Glacier Wilderness about 16 miles east of Darrington on the western slopes of the Cascades. No firefighters were working it Sunday morning, since it was not threatening any structures or campgrounds.
“They’re trying to figure out what to do with it,” Hollen said. “It’s in the middle of nowhere.”
