Rock Slide Kills 3, Closes Westbound I-90

September 11, 2005

By KOMO Staff

KING COUNTY - Three people were killed early Sunday morning in a rock slide that has shut down westbound Interstate 90 near Snoqualmie Pass.

Washington State Patrol Trooper Kelly Spangler said a large section of a rock wall broke off the hillside and fell on a car just after 1 a.m., crushing the three people who were inside.

"These are very, very large rocks," she said.

No other cars were hit.

Department of transportation engineers are working to stabilize the hillside where the rock broke free about two miles west of Snoqualmie Pass.

Westbound traffic on I-90 is being stopped at Easton near milepost 70, Spangler said.

Troopers expect the interstate to remain closed to westbound traffic until at least 12 p.m so a state geologist can inspect the area.

The names of the three people who were killed have not been released.
