Seattle police detectives are investigating a fatality collision in Downtown Seattle Friday morning.
At 12:40 a.m., patrol officers responded to a two-vehicle collision at 4th Avenue and Pine Street. The Seattle Fire Department (SFD) arrived on scene and extricated two male occupants from a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV).
Despite all life-saving efforts, SFD pronounced the 23-year-old driver and 24-year-old passenger of the SUV deceased.
Police determined that a white sedan was traveling northbound on 4th Avenue through a green light. The SUV was traveling westbound on Pine Street at a high rate of speed and ran a red light. Both vehicles collided into each other; the sedan came to rest on the northwest sidewalk and the SUV wrapped around a light pole.
The driver and passenger of the sedan were not injured. They both cooperated with authorities and no arrests were made. Their vehicle was towed from the scene.
