STANWOOD — A crash involving three vehicles closed Highway 532 and resulted in a man being airlifted to Harborview Medical Center with possible life-threatening injuries, the Washington State Patrol reported.
The accident occurred at 12:14 p.m. at Sunday Lake Road, trooper Keith Leary said. One of the vehicles caught fire.
A commercial truck driven by a 53-year-old Spanaway man was traveling westbound when it struck the rear of a Buick LeSabre driven by a Lynnwood woman, 45. The collision pushed the Buick into oncoming eastbound traffic. The Buick was then struck by a Ford Ranger pickup driven by a 60-year-old Stanwood man. The car burst into flames.
The driver of the Buick and the commercial truck driver who hit her both were transported to Providence Everett Medical Colby Campus with injuries that were not considered life threatening. The Buick’s passenger, a 44-year-old man from Carson, was flown by helicopter to Seattle for emergency treatment.
The highway was closed in both directions but reopened at 3:20 p.m., Leary said.
