MASON COUNTY, Wash. — State Route 106 in Mason County was closed at mile point 19 on Tuesday morning around 7 a.m. after a car crash blocked the roadway.

Washington State Patrol Trooper Katherine Weatherwax stated that the crash was a two-car serious injury collision.

According to the Washington State Patrol, a 46-year-old man from Belfair was traveling eastbound when he veered into oncoming traffic and struck another car with just one driver, a 51-year-old woman from Port Orchard.
