Two drivers injured in high-speed crash Tuesday in south Thurston County
Two men were seriously injured Tuesday afternoon in a high-speed wreck on Case Road Southwest, according to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office.
Both men were thought to be in their mid-30s, said Sgt. Cameron Simper. One was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, the other was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia.
The man who was flown to Seattle is also being treated as a suspect because he was believed to be driving at more than 100 miles per hour in a compact car when he crossed the center line and crashed into the other man’s truck.
The suspect admitted to being impaired, Simper said.
The collision was reported about 12:15 p.m. in the 15000 block of Case Road Southwest. After the crash, the road was closed for a few hours, Thurston County Public Works announced via social media.
