One teen was critically injured Friday in a car accident on Mount Si Road. The teen, an 18 year-old boy from Issaquah, was ejected from a car as it rolled over, around 6:20 p.m. near 44th Avenue Southeast.
Two other people in the vehicle, an 18 year-old male driver from Sammamish and a 14 year-old girl from North Bend, were also injured, but not seriously.
The accident happened when the driver, westbound on Mount Si Road, lost control of the vehicle coming out of a left-hand curve, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office which is investigating the accident. The vehicle rolled over onto the steep shoulder of the road, then rolled back, the report states.
“We found no evidence of drugs or alcohol use,” as a possible factor contributing to the accident, said Sgt. Cindi West, spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office. Weather did not seem to be a factor, either.
The accident and investigation closed Mount Si Road for several hours that evening.
