According to the Washington State Patrol, 28-year-old Randy Betterton traveled at a high rate of speed northbound around 2:30 a.m. His 2009 Nissan subsequently sideswiped a 2008 Honda Accord, driven by a 35-year-old man from Colfax.
 
As a result of the impact, the Bothell man’s Nissan struck a jersey barrier and a concrete bridge abutment before catching on fire.
 
A 22-year-old man from Everett riding inside the Nissan escaped the blazing inferno–as to how remains unclear–and suffered unknown injuries.
