Skagit County, WA (June 6, 2025) — Emergency crews responded to a severe head-on crash on Wednesday, June 4, at the intersection of Old Highway 99 North and Gear Road. The collision involved two vehicles, one of which was hauling a trailer carrying a lawnmower, and resulted in multiple injuries and significant vehicle damage.

According to the Washington State Patrol, the crash occurred at high speed and left several individuals trapped inside their vehicles. First responders from local fire departments, medical teams, and law enforcement agencies worked swiftly to provide aid and extricate those injured.

Due to the intensity of the impact, both vehicles sustained heavy front-end damage, prompting the need for two tow trucks to clear the wreckage. The crash disrupted traffic in the area for several hours, and motorists were urged to find alternative routes while crews worked at the scene.

While the full extent of the injuries has not yet been released, authorities confirmed that multiple people were transported for medical treatment. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
