Two women died after their disabled Honda Civic was hit from behind on northbound I-5 near 320th Street in Federal Way on Thursday morning.
A Ford Mustang slammed into the Honda around 1:40 a.m.
The driver of the Mustang, 29, suffered serious injuries, according to Washington State Trooper Chris Webb.
The women who died were originally reported as being in their 20s. Webb clarified that one was 31, the other 51.
Though Webb initially said it was unclear if drugs or alcohol were involved, he later tweeted that the crash is being investigated as a vehicular homicide. There was “apparently no braking” when the Mustang hit the Honda, Webb said.
The crash shut down the right two lanes of northbound I-5 for several hours.
