Five car crash in Bremerton causes multiple hospitalizations

Bremerton Police and Fire officials responded to a five car serious injury crash on Friday night.

The crash occurred at Kitsap Way and National Avenue at around 9 p.m.

According to officials, a white Honda occupied by three people was stopped at a stoplight, waiting to turn right on National Kitsap when a red Kia approached from behind at a very high rate of speed.

The Kia ran into the back of the Honda, causing extensive damage.

As a result of the initial collision, the Honda was pushed into the intersection and collided with a vehicle.

The Kia then struck another stopped vehicle waiting for a red light, and then continued across the intersection, striking a third vehicle.

The Honda then struck the curb on the north side of Kitsap Way, causing it to roll.  The vehicle finally came to rest on its roof next to a building located well north of Kitsap Way.

The Honda was being driven by an adult female, who had an infant in her car at the time of the collision.

The infant was in a rear-facing car seat in the back seat and was uninjured.

The Kia, which had been stopped at the light, was occupied by three people.

Two from that car, and the female driver of the Honda were transported to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton for non-life threatening injuries.

One of the passengers in the Kia that was rear-ended was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center and is listed in critical condition.
