3 teens killed in single-vehicle crash on Bainbridge Island

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WA – Three teenagers were killed in a single-vehicle accident on Tuesday evening in which speed was “most likely” a factor, police say.

KING 5 reports that the crash occurred in the 11000 block of Sunrise Drive shortly before 9 p.m. on March 16. A southbound vehicle left the roadway, hit several trees, and then overturned, killing its three occupants — girls aged 14, 14, and 16. All three were students at Bainbridge High School, where impromptu memorials are underway.

An investigation into the accident is ongoing, though police believe that excessive speed was likely a factor.
