CAMANO ISLAND, Wash. — One person is dead and two others are seriously hurt after their car crashed into a power pole on Camano Island Saturday afternoon.
It happened in the 1700 block of Southeast Camano Drive around 11:30 a.m.
The driver was going too fast for the conditions, according to the Washington State Patrol. Trooper Heather Axtman tweeted that the vehicle struck a power pole, snapping it in half, and uprooting the base.
