Two people were injured after the vehicle they were traveling in collided with a car abandoned on the shoulder of I-5 near 164th Street Southwest in Lynnwood.
The driver of a red Nissan Xterra, a 28-year-old man from Bothell, and his passenger, a 38-year-old woman from Mountlake Terrace, were both taken to Providence Medical Center in Everett.
According to the Washington State Patrol, their vehicle was traveling southbound on I-5 when it left the roadway shortly after midnight and struck a Hyundai Sonata that had been abandoned on the right shoulder. The cause of the crash is under investigation, although drugs and/or alcohol were said to be involved and neither occupant was wearing a seatbelt. Both vehicles were totaled and had to be towed from the scene.
This car has been there for days. It should have been towed long ago.
Was the abandoned car black? If so, I saw it at the last second and my husband came close to hitting it.
