Preston, WA : Four-vehicle crash Sunday afternoon, September 28th 2014.
All lanes of westbound I-90 are blocked near Milepost 22 following a four-vehicle crash Sunday afternoon, Washington State Patrol says.
The crash occurred around 3 p.m. when a jeep traveling in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 90 crossed into the westbound lanes, colliding head-on with oncoming traffic.
The first car hit by the jeep was also rear ended and engulfed in flames. One witness who stopped to help the crash victims also had a fire extinguisher in his car, and helped douse the flames.
Debris was strewn across the roadway. Troopers say the crash scene is large and complex.
"Pieces, and cars, and fire, and everything kind of flying," crash witness Jennifer Simons said. Simons also says the driver of the green jeep was conscious but distraught, and asking for his family members.
Multiple serious injuries have been reported, and troopers say some victims were rescued by Good Samaritans.
