Troopers investigating vehicular assault after 1 killed in head-on crash in Stanwood
STANWOOD, Wash. - One person has died following a head-on crash on SR-532 in Stanwood.
Both eastbound and westbound lanes were fully blocked at 35th Avenue and just east of 64th Avenue around 4 p.m. for the crash, but have since re-opened.
Washington State Patrol Trooper Jacob Kennett told FOX 13 that this crash is being investigated as a vehicular assault. He said he believes drugs and alcohol were involved, but the crash is still being investigated.
