EVERETT — A Lynnwood man is dead after a fatal crash on U.S. 2 near Gold Bar on Friday.
Shortly after 3 p.m. Friday, the Washington State Patrol responded to reports of a vehicle crash at milepost 32, also known as No Name Creek on U.S. 2.
Wyatt J. Ivers, 29, Lynnwood, was reportedly engaged in street racing with another vehicle while driving a blue 2006 Subaru Impreza east on U.S. 2, according to the WSP press release.
