Update 10:43 a.m.:

Washington State Patrol has confirmed that there were at least three fatalities in the crash on I-90 near Easton.

Trooper Collin Cumaravel confirmed that a family of three — two adults and a 10-year-old child — were killed in the accident being cleared from I-90.

“A semi was traveling westbound on I-90 at milepost 74 when it crossed over the median, and it struck a passenger car that was traveling eastbound, and three people died in that passenger car,” Cumaravel said.

The trooper tells us a semi-truck on I-90 crossed the line into their car near Easton.

At this point, drugs and alcohol are not suspected as possible factors in the crash.
