Olympia man airlifted to Seattle hospital after Sunday morning wreck in Mason County
A 69-year-old Olympia man was injured in a wreck in Mason County early Sunday morning and airlifted to a Seattle hospital, according to Washington State Patrol.
About 12:10 a.m. Sunday, the Olympia man was driving south on State Route 3, approaching Johns Prairie Road. Meanwhile, a 31-year-old Belfair man and a 10-year-old boy were stopped in their vehicle at eastbound Johns Prairie Road at SR3.
Troopers say the Belfair man pulled out in front of the Olympia driver, who then crashed into him.
After impact, one vehicle blocked the southbound lane and the other blocked the northbound lane, according to State Patrol. The road was blocked for about 90 minutes.
The two Belfair residents were injured but were not taken to a hospital, a State Patrol memo says. The Olympia man was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
