BLYN — One person was killed and four others seriously injured in a two-car, head-on crash at about 5:30 p.m. Sunday on U.S. Highway 101 just east of Blyn.
Identities of the dead and injured weren’t available Sunday night as Washington State Patrol troopers investigated the crash. Highway 101 was expected to be closed for several hours during the investigation.
The person who was killed was in a white car that was flipped over a guard rail and down an embankment by the force of the crash. It is unknown if that person was the driver or a passenger.
Three of of the four injured people were initially taken to Olympic Memorial Hospital in Port Angeles. A nursing supervisor at the hospital said one man was going to be airlifted to the regional trauma center at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. She said the two other people taken to Olympic Memorial Hospital were less seriously injured.
The fourth injured person, a woman driving one of the vehicles, was airlifted to Harborview by a helicopter that landed at the Diamond Point Airport. A nursing supervisor at the Seattle hospital said the woman was in the emergency room.
