A DUI suspect is in police custody after leaving the scene of a fiery crash in north Lynnwood.
Just after 6:00 a.m. Sunday, someone called 911 reporting a crash.
Deputies arrived to the scene just north of Lake Stickney, about a half mile south of 128th S.W., and found a black sedan fully engulfed in flames.
No one was inside.
Investigators believe the person behind the wheel was driving at a high rate of speed on N. Lake Stickney Dr. and lost control.

The sedan veered off the roadway and slammed into two parked cars in the driveway of a private home.
Deputies say the sedan then flipped upside down, burst into flames, and came to rest in the yard of a nearby home.
Somehow the driver made it out and ran away from the crashed vehicle.

The driver is facing DUI and other possible charges.
