KING COUNTY, WA — A 39-year-old Lakewood man died Tuesday night after a multi-vehicle accident on State Route 18 near Auburn’s Lea Hill area, according to Washington State Patrol.
The crash occurred on a span of the highway near Southeast 304th Street and was first reported shortly before 5:30 p.m.
A preliminary investigation indicates the man was driving a black Toyota Scion against traffic in the eastbound lanes when he hit the front left of a eastbound Toyota Tundra pickup truck driven by a 54-year-old man.
After the initial collision, the driver of the pickup truck pulled over to the shoulder and called authorities while the wrong-way driver continued west in the eastbound lanes, where it collided with another vehicle. The impact of the second crash sent the Scion into a nearby ditch, and the third vehicle came to rest in the roadway.
WSP confirmed the causing driver died from their injuries.
The two other drivers both suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to nearby hospitals. Their condition remains undisclosed.
The event forced a lane in each direction to shut down for an extended period, but was reopened by 9:00 p.m.
