PORT TOWNSEND — A 55-year-old Everett woman was injured during a three-car collision when the car she was riding in hit the back of another car that was stopped in traffic on state Highway 104.
The collision occurred at 2:55 p.m. Wednesday, when Ryan Snyder, 46, of Everett was driving westbound on state Highway 104 approaching Sandy Shore Road and failed to stop, striking the back of a vehicle stopped in traffic and pushing it into a third vehicle, according to a State Patrol report.
