Five people, including two teens from Kent, were sent to hospitals last week after a high-speed, three-vehicle crash along Highway 167 in Auburn.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

An 18-year Kent man drove a 2002 Mercedes 320, with three teen passengers, at a high rate of speed at about 2:06 a.m. on July 1 near 37th Street Northwest<\/a>, and caused a three-car collision that sent the driver and four others to hospitals, according to a State Patrol media release.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Witnesses said the Mercedes traveling at a high rate of speed lost control and collided with a 2009 Dodge Journey, which caused the Dodge to roll onto its side into a ditch, injuring the driver, a 69-year-old Renton man, and the passenger, a 63-year-old Renton woman. Paramedics transported the man and woman to Multicare Auburn Medical Center.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Kent driver remained in serious condition in intensive care on Tuesday at Harborview, according to a hospital spokeswoman. The hospital had no information about the passenger.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
