Whidbey, WA (July 17, 2021) – On Thursday, four people were injured in Highway 20 three-car crash.

The traffic accident took place at about 1:30 p.m. near Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

A southbound vehicle on Highway 20 crossed the center line and crashed with a northbound vehicle.

As a result, the southbound vehicle rolled over.

Subsequently, a third vehicle crashed with the southbound vehicle which rolled over and rested on its top in the Northbound lane.

Furthermore, the initially northbound vehicle was then clipped between the guardrail and the third vehicle .

Officers said are still investigating whether drugs or alcohol were involved in the collision.

Aim high in steering, i.e. don’t make your steering adjustments based on what is directly in front of you, but rather what is down the road. If the road is winding to the right, for example, look as far into the turn as possible. This will improve your safety and make your turns smoother.
