Two Dead in Highway 2 Crash at Stevens Pass
Two lives were lost in a tragic traffic accident on Highway 2 at Stevens Pass on Sunday. The collision involved a Subaru Crosstrek and a Ford F-150, blocking the highway's eastbound lanes. The deceased, a 46-year-old man and a 17-year-old female passenger, both from Gold Bar, Snohomish County, were in the Subaru. The crash occurred in rainy conditions with snow on the shoulder and a temperature of 35 degrees.
