SEATTLE - A man hurt in a two-car crash in south Seattle early Saturday died at the hospital.

The crash happened along the 5500 block of Rainier Avenue South around 3:30 a.m.

Police say just prior to the collision, two cars were travelling at high speed southbound on Rainier Ave. S. One driver later told officers he was following the other (suspect) vehicle after being the victim of a hit-and-run. The "suspect" vehicle, a silver Lexus, crossed the centerline of Rainier Avenue South and struck a Buick traveling northbound.

The Seattle Fire Department responded and extricated the two occupants from the Lexus and the driver of the Buick. All were taken to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.

Police say the man who died was a passenger in the Lexus.

Well for those who are reading this the person in the lexus was my family and he was only a passenger and DIED!!!!!!!!!!! The driver is alive and in a bad conditin but yet still ALIVE!!!!!!! so for anybody that thinks its ok to comment on tragedy without having the full story think about the families that lost a child on this morning and what his mother and family are going through with the lost of her YOUNGEST SON and his BROTHERS who are SICK because of it. So think before you type and make assumptipons of what you oonly know part of the story. This is FATAL for only one family not 3. THANK YOU please remember if it were you family your family would you want random people making random comments about something they no nothng about. THANK YOU The WADE and PARIS Family the Child that was lost in the crash @ the scene never to speak another word to his mother or siblings Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it was a hit and run the following car should have some fresh damage. If the car following was chasing the first car why was the first car going so fast? Did they think the following driver has a gun?

This accident should have never taken place. It wasn't like what the driver behind the Lexus said. This accident was not over a hit and run it was about a girl. The guy that reported that he was behind them because of a hit and run was lying. He was chasing the Lexus until it went out of control. I think one calls that murder. Why wasn't he arrested, he was drunk.

Front wheel drive cars do not do well at high speeds, they cash almost every time

WRONG, lmurphy09..this IS the place to talk about why, who and what.. if you need to grieve online, keep it to your social networking websites... THIS is the place to discuss the story. ..that said.. I'm guessing booze or substance was a factor.. that and stupidity

lmurphy09 - I hear what you're saying but anybody that refers to God as "god" really needs prayer... Probably more than the people in the hospital right now. In the bible, God is the Almighty Creator and "god" is always used when making reference to an idol or false god. (Just so you know...)

That is messed up! The driver of the Lexus is not looking very good right now if all of this is true. He is truly in a world of hurt...
