Wrong Way Driver Killed On I-90, Two Injured, Near North Bend, WA


Posted on Feb 22, 2010

One man was killed and two others were seriously injured in a wrong way driving incident on Interstate 90 near North Bend in Washington State. Washington State Police believe that alcohol was a factor in the fatal WA car crash that took the life of one man and left two others in critical condition.

The wrong way car accident occurred just after midnight on Friday, February 19. The car probably took the off ramp onto the wrong side of I-90 at exit 31 and then sped down the highway, narrowly running head-on into a Washington State Patrol car. The two men driving the wrong way vehicle, a Jeep, swerved to miss the cruiser and instead crashed head-on into a box truck.

The driver of the car, a 25-year-old man from Bremerton, died at the scene of the accident. The passenger in the Jeep and the driver of the box truck were both rushed to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries.

All westbound lanes of I-90 were closed for three hours on early Friday morning as Washington Police investigated the crash and collected evidence.

Wrong way driving kills about 350 people each year in the United States. Just last year, a wrong way driving elderly couple on I-5 killed one person after they mistakenly entered the road using an exit ramp. In another case of wrong way driving in Seattle, a drunk woman drove down the wrong side of I-90, killing two young women after striking their car head-on.
