Witnesses of Rollover Collision on Northbound Interstate 405 Sought

Washington State Patrol is seeking witnesses to a Dec. 31 rollover accident in Renton on northbound I-405.

Washington State Patrol detectives are seeking additional witnesses to a "dangerously driven vehicle" that caused a rollover collision on northbound I-405 on New Year's Eve.

Witnesses told WSP investigators that a green Honda Accord was traveling at high speeds and passing vehicles on the right shoulder of the freeway at around 7 p.m. as it approached State Route 167. The Honda made a sudden lane change and hit the right rear of a green Subaru Outback causing it to roll over in the lane .

Troopers say it's possible the Honda was involved in a high-speed race a third unidentifed vehicle. One of the racing cars remained at the scene, while the second suspect vehicle fled, according to Washington State Patrol Trooper Julie Judson.

The injured were treated at Harborview Medical Center and another area hospital and all were later released.

This collision is under investigation and detectives are asking anyone that has not been interviewed that may have seen the collision, or are aware of any vehicles or events that may have occurred prior to it, please contact Detective Russ Haake (425) 401-7717 or Russ.Haake@wsp.wa.gov.

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.
