Lacey, WA (March 29, 2026) – A vehicle crash early on Sunday morning, March 29, in Lacey, left two people seriously injured. The collision occurred around 5:00 a.m. on the northbound Interstate 5 on-ramp from Marvin Road.
Emergency crews found the car overturned down an embankment. Firefighters extricated the driver and a female passenger, both of whom were transported to a hospital with serious injuries. The ramp remained closed, and one lane of Interstate 5 northbound was shut down while crews worked at the scene.
The incident remains under investigation.
Our thoughts are with the injured individuals as they receive medical care.
Why Embankment Crashes Are Particularly Dangerous
Crashes involving embankments can lead to severe injuries due to the angle of impact, vehicle rollover, or partial crushing of the cabin. Occupants may become trapped inside, requiring extrication by emergency crews.
Investigators examine factors such as speed, road conditions, and driver impairment to understand the cause. Rapid response and safe removal of those trapped are critical for preventing further injury and providing timely medical care.
