One-car wreck in Lynnwood kills two, injures two others LYNNWOOD — Two young men were killed and two others were clinging to life early Saturday after their car smashed into a tree.Medics were called shortly after 2 a.m. to the intersection of 176th Street SW and North Road, less than a mile north of Lynnwood High School, Snohomish County Fire District 1 spokeswoman Leslie Hynes said. The four men, ages 20 to 22, are from the Lynnwood area, Snohomish County sheriff’s Lt. Stephen Dittoe said. Two men were dead at the scene. No other information about them was available. Two other men were taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Their conditions were listed as serious and critical later on Saturday morning, Dittoe said. Damage to the vehicle was massive. It took firefighters 15 minutes to cut one injured man free of the wrecked car, Hynes said. Detectives from the sheriff’s Collision Investigation Unit were investigating the crash, Dittoe said. They determined that the car was northbound when it failed to negotiate a turn and left the road at 70 to 80 mph. The speed limit in the area is 35 mph, Dittoe said. The turn is posted at 25 mph. Dittoe said alcohol also may have been a factor in the crash. Katya Yefimova: 425-339-3452, kyefimova@heraldnet.com. |

This is certainly a tragedy by all counts. So why is it that ANYONE would want to disregard the fact that speeding, which is a choice, injured and killed these kids? If it was a drunk in another car, we would all be outraged. Feeling a sense of personal responsibility is always a good thing. How can anyone hope to learn from a mistake that is never acknowledged? This could have happened to anyone who was excessively speeding down this road. Sometimes it is better to get there late than never.
