Kitsap County is full of winding green highways that are beautiful to drive any time of the year. But they are some of the most dangerous because most of them are single lane, remote, and have plenty of cars merging from the many access roads criss-crossing the county. A car accident happened there on Highway 303 just two hours ago so details are sketchy.
The accident happened at 3:15 p.m on Highway 303 near the road’s intersection with Brownsville Highway. The Washington State Patrol said it appears that two cars collided, forcing one of those cars into oncoming traffic, where it hit a third car head-on.
Police and Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue crews rushed to the scene and confirmed that one person had critical personal injuries and rescuers had to cut another person out of another car.
It is currently unknown the nature of their injuries and what hospital the people were taken to.
State troopers will remain on the scene to investigate the accident. Cars are moving north on Highway 303 using the center lane after earlier being diverted onto Brownsville Highway.
Our thoughts are with the injured people.
The rain visited the Northwest today for the first time in a while and this may have contributed to the accident as the oil rises out of the pavement and makes roads very slick. May people don’t think about the first rains after a long hot summer and how they can be just as slick as frozen pavement in spots. Please be careful driving this month.
