According to a press memo from the Washington State Patrol, a ****** Tesla carrying two unrestrained passengers struck the barrier on the left shoulder, before crossing multiple lanes to the right side of the road and striking a Volvo with a trailer attached.

A spokesperson with the Seattle ***** Department said that the driver of the Tesla was a 35-year-old woman from Everett who was transported to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition. Her passenger was a 36-year-old man from Everett who was also transported to Harborview but in stable condition. Neither one was wearing a seatbelt.

The sole driver of the Volvo was a 28-year-old man from Kent who was wearing a seatbelt, and was uninjured.

While the cause is still pending investigation, drugs or alcohol were reportedly involved in the ******. The woman driving the Tesla is facing charges of vehicular ******** and DUI.

All lanes reopened around 6:45 a.m., approximately four hours after the ****** first happened.
