VANCOUVER, WA (KPTV)
Two people died and one person was injured in a head-on crash on State Route 500 in Vancouver early Friday morning.
Washington State Patrol said the driver and passenger in a 1985 Nissan 3ZX were heading westbound in an eastbound lane of SR-500 before they crashed head-on into an eastbound Honda Element near Andresen Road just before 3 a.m.
The Nissan caught fire after the crash. The driver, 32-year-old Randal Corbin, and passenger, 33-year-old Michael B. York, were both killed.
The driver of the Honda Element, 38-year-old Amy Osborne-Clarke, was injured and taken to a Vancouver hospital. Her condition was not immediately released.
It's unknown if drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash, WSP said. Of course, the evidence suggests that the wrong-way driver was drunk or on drugs. We will wait and see what the autopsy results show.
