Head-on crash kills woman in Lynnwood

LYNNWOOD, Wash. — The Lynnwood Police Department has closed a stretch of road while they investigate a deadly crash.

44th Avenue West between 164th Place Southwest and 168th Avenue West for the next several hours.

According to police, someone called 911 just before 10 a.m. about a stolen minivan that was spotted at the park and ride.

Officers said the van drove erratically out of the parking lot, hitting another car and tearing its own door off.

From there, officers said the minivan got into two other minor crashes before crossing the center line on 44th Avenue West, hitting a SUV head-on and killing a 69-year-old woman.

The driver of the minivan also died.

Police believe drugs and/or alcohol were involved.

No word when the road will reopen.

This is a developing story and will be updated when KIRO 7 has more information.
