Highway 2 has now reopened in both directions just east of State Route 9 (SR 9) in Snohomish after a fatal car crash occurred Tuesday morning, causing an hours-long shutdown of the highway. The closure was near milepost 6 on Highway 2.

Two drivers died in the head-on crash Tuesday, reported Snohomish County Fire District #4 .

“Troopers are on scene of a two-car multi-fatality collision which included the drivers of both vehicles,” Washington State Patrol (WSP) Tropper Kelsey Harding stated on social media. “No other occupants to report at this time.”

“We have a multi-fatal crash investigation underway near Machias Road,” 成人X站 Newsradio traffic reporter Chris Sullivan said. “If you’re stuck around that, what they’re going to try to do is turn people around back to SR 9, or back down to 88th Street right now. If you’re coming out of Monroe, you cannot get west of 88th Street up to the scene of that crash, and those of you trying to get to Monroe can’t get east of SR 9.”

Both WSP and the Incident Response Team (IRT) were at the scene of the crash.

“Our thoughts are with the families of those involved and the first responders who responded to the scene,” Snohomish County Fire District #4 stated. “On this New Year’s Eve, we ask that everyone do their part and drive safely. Remember, your actions affect far more people than just you.”
