Two 17 year-old boys were traveling west on Highway 302 about 3:30 a.m. in a 2002 Jeep Cherokee. About 4 miles from Belfair near Victor, they left the roadway to the left and struck a tree, according to a Washington State Patrol report.
The driver, from Gig Harbor, was taken to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton and flown from there to Harborview where he was listed in serious condition.
The passenger, also from Gig Harbor, was driven to Mason General Hospital in Shelton. The State Patrol report said he also was flown to Harborview, but the hospital had no record of him being there.
State Patrol believe both speed and alcohol are in the crash.
The accident blocked the eastbound lane of Highway 302 until about 7:45 a.m.
Teenage drinking and driving is always a tragic situation that can ruin the lives of everyone involved. Please don’t drink and drive.
