female child in a car seat in the Eclipse were seriously injured.
The man driving the Eclipse, Gerardo Martinez Urrutia, (name is basque) was badly injured. He was immediately taken to Harborview for surgery for internal injuries and is expected to live. His daughter, Bella, has a spinal fracture and artery damage, which are life-threatening injuries. Everyone in the crash was wearing seatbelts, and officers said they do not suspect drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash. Witnesses told troopers Urrutia’s driving looked “as if he had fallen asleep.”

the Mitsubishi was heading eastbound,” said trooper Keith Leary. “It drifted to the shoulder, and struck one of the large construction barrels.”
It appears the driver then tried to over-correct and crossed the center line, hitting an oncoming car, a Ford Fusion. Both people in that car died.
The driver of the Mitsubishi and a young child were taken to the hospital in critical condition.
“We’re going to look at was the driver distracted? Was he looking at the child? Was he looking at something on the road?” Leary said.
The road itself could be a factor. In 2000, Reader’s Digest named the 10-mile stretch of 522 between Woodinville and Monroe one of America’s most dangerous highways.
