SHINE — A Quilcene man was injured in a one-car crash on the Hood Canal Bridge early Sunday morning.
Larry C. King, 37, was listed in serious condition with internal injuries at Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center on Sunday night.
The State Patrol said King was eastbound in his 1994 Saturn on the floating bridge at about 2:30 a.m. when the car crossed the center line, striking a median barrier.
King was ejected from the car and landed on the bridge deck, while the car stopped in the middle of the westbound lane.
The bridge was closed for about an hour.
The State Patrol, which is investigating the crash, said alcohol or drugs are believed to be contributing factors.
