4 Hospitalized In Issaquah Highlands Crash

ISSAQUAH, WA — Investigators are looking for witnesses after a serious crash in the Issaquah Highlands sent four people to the hospital on Halloween night. Eastside Fire & Rescue medics rushed to the scene shortly before 11:30 p.m., and a large emergency response stretched into the night.

In a news release Tuesday afternoon, Washington State Patrol said two vehicles — an Infinity G35 and Mercedes — were speeding south on Highlands Drive Northeast, approaching the Northeast Discovery Drive intersection, just before the crash. The Infinity ran a red light and hit a third vehicle that was turning left on a green arrow, then lost control and hit a light pole, troopers said.

According to WSP, a man and woman riding in the Infinity were not wearing seatbelts and suffered serious injuries after being ejected from the vehicle. The driver and a third passenger also required hospitalization, while the driver in the third vehicle was uninjured.

WSP said the Issaquah Police Department asked troopers to handle the investigation, which is ongoing. Investigators ask that anyone who witnessed the crash or saw the vehicles leading up to the collision reach out to detectives via e-mail.
