Four people, including two boys ages 5 and 6, were injured in a crash on state Route 505 east of Toledo Friday night, according to the Washington State Patrol.
The children and two adults, all from Toledo, were transported to Providence Centralia Hospital after the crash, which occurred at about 7:40 p.m., according to the state patrol.
Petr P. Karnafel, 23, of Federal Way, was traveling south on state Route 505 near mile marker 11 in a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. He was behind a 2009 Honda Civic driven by Brandon J. Pina, 41, of Toledo. According to the state patrol, Pina braked to make a left hand turn, and that’s when Karnafel attempted to pass in the northbound lane, striking the Civic.

Karnafel was not injured.
All involved were wearing seat belts, according to the state patrol. Both vehicles were totaled.
