Late Tuesday evening a 2001 Acura crossed the median of I-90 near Preston and continued onto the on coming lanes of I-90.  The Acura narrowly avoided hitting a semi-truck but smashed head-on into a 2006 Honda Civic being driven by a 29 year-old North Bend, Washington woman.

Both drivers suffered serious injuries in the I-90 car accident and were transported to Harborview Medical Center.  The North Bend woman is in critical condition in the Harborview intensive care unit.  The at-fault driver is in serious condition and also in the Harborview intensive care unit.  Alcohol is suspected of playing a role in causing the head-on collision.

During this Holiday Season parties are in full swing. Which means drunk drivers will be increasingly hitting the roads every night of the week, not just weekends.  Please take a cab if you have a few drinks at your Christmas party.  It's just not worth risking serious injury or death over a $40 cab ride.
