A 14-year-old driver has died and three passengers were injured following a collision on I-405 in Bothell at around 1:50am Saturday morning.

Two 15-year-old girls and one 14-year-old passenger were transported to Evergreen Hospital.

Washington State Patrol tells KIRO7 it’s unknown if drugs or alcohol were involved or what circumstances led up to the crash.
