FEDERAL WAY, Wash. — One person has died and two others were injured in a crash on Interstate 5 in Federal Way early Saturday.
The collision happened just before 1:45 a.m.
According to troopers, a disabled Ford F-150 was blocking a lane on southbound I-5, just south of State Route 516, when two other vehicles, a 2007 Volkswagen Beetle and a Chrysler 300, stopped in the same lane in an attempt to get around the disabled vehicle.
The driver of a Dodge Grand Caravan rear-ended the Beetle, pushing it into the Chrysler 300, Washington State Patrol said in a release. The Beetle came to a stop in the same lane, but a 26-year-old passenger was killed.
The driver of the Beetle and another passenger were injured.

The investigation remains ongoing.
