Three-car crash closes Highway 525 for 2 hours

MUKILTEO – A three-car accident shut down Highway 525 for more than two hours Monday, police said.

The accident happened about 5:25 a.m. in the 7800 block of Highway 525, Mukilteo Officer S. Greenmun said.

A car headed south hit a car parked at the side of the road. The impact sent the empty parked car across the highway and into a car in the northbound lane, Greenmun said.

The driver in the first car was taken to Providence Everett Medical Center and was in stable condition. The other driver was not hurt, Greenmun said.

The crash shut down both lanes of the highway; drivers were detoured through Mukilteo.
