News: Teen driver injured in high-speed wreck on SR-99 near Lynnwood

SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WA — A teenage driver was hospitalized late Friday morning after a high-speed rollover collision on State Route 99 near Lynnwood, according to Shoreline Area News.

The crash happened on a stretch of SR-99 at 190th Place Southwest, in front of Costco Business Center. It was first reported at around 11:00 a.m.

Officials said the teen was driving at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour when they lost control of their vehicle. The car knocked down two utility poles and a fire hydrant before it flipped upside-down along the side of the roadway.

Fire crews had to perform a rescue extrication to remove the driver from the wreckage. The patient was then rushed to Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center, where their condition remains undisclosed.

A section of SR-99 was shut down in both directions for about three hours as first responders worked the scene.

Due to damage to the power poles, a number of nearby Snohomish County PUD customers lost power. The broken hydrant also impacted water service in the area.
