OLYMPIA, Wash. — A head-on crash in Olympia left two injured, roads closed and a massive oil spill to clean up.
On Sunday, Sheriff Sanders of Thurston County was on his way home when he and the Nisqually Tribal Police came across a head-on crash between a pickup truck and a car at Rainier Road Southeast and Spurgeon Creek Road Southeast.
According to the sheriff, the car was driving down Spurgeon Creek Road Southeast and ran through a stop sign crashing into the pickup on Rainier Road Southeast.
Both the driver and passenger in the car suffered from head injuries.
Crews from East Olympia Fire District 6 answered the call and provided aid.
The driver of the pickup did not complain of any injuries.
“I’m sure he’ll be sore tomorrow,” Sheriff Sanders said in a Facebook post.
Traffic was delayed while the road was being cleared and a large oil spill was being cleaned up.
No word on whether the driver of the car was cited for running the stop sign.
