Enumclaw man involved in three-car crash near Auburn

No drugs or alcohol are suspected to have been involved at this time.

An Enumclaw man was involved in a three car crash yesterday afternoon that closed I-5 for nearly eight hours.

No one was killed in the crash, but three Auburn residents — including two kids — were sent to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital.

According to a Washington State Patrol press release, all three vehicles were traveling north on I-5 around 3 p.m. when vehicle two, with the Auburn residents, slowed down for traffic. Vehicle one, driven by a male from Tijuana, Mexico, did not slow down and struck vehicle two; this pushed vehicle two into vehicle three and the Enumclaw resident, who was uninjured.
