Three people were injured with two airlifted after a head-on crash on State Route 300 west of Belfair Sunday afternoon.
The Washington State Patrol says a westbound sedan struck an eastbound SUV head-on on SR-300 (North Shore Road) at the intersection with Sand Hill Road about 12 PM Sunday. The highway was fully blocked for four and a half hours.
The driver of the sedan, a 31-year-old Bremerton man, and driver of the SUV, a 30-year-old Gig Harbor woman, were flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The passenger in the SUV, a 27-year-old Gig Harbor man, was transported to St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Tacoma.
Both vehicles were totaled and impounded. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
A press memo says charges are “pending” against the driver of the sedan and calls the driver of the SUV “victim”.
No other details are available.
