A 20-year-old Pierce County driver is facing two counts of vehicular homicide after both of his male passengers died in a rollover wreck Saturday night, according to the Washington State Patrol.
One passenger was 17 and from Redding, California. An age and city of residence for the other victim was not immediately known. Both died at the scene. The Spanaway man driving the car was injured and taken to an area hospital.
About 9:40 p.m., the driver was headed east on state Route 900, approaching 57th Avenue South in King County. That area is north of Tukwila.
Troopers say speed was a factor in the crash. The driver lost control and left the road to the right, rolled over and came to a stop on its side, according to State Patrol.
The road was blocked for more than four hours following the crash.
