Posted

A 68-year-old Nordland man was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after he drove off the road on Highway 116 on Marrowstone Island and hit a tree Saturday afternoon.

The man was driving east on the highway near Fort Flagler in Fort Flagler State Park just after 2:30 p.m. Nov. 28 when he went off the road, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The man's 1993 Jeep Cherokee was totaled in the crash. It was impounded by the State Patrol and removed from the scene by All City Auto Body & Towing.

The State Patrol said crash was caused by the man's vehicle tires leaving the roadway. 

The man will be cited for second-degree negligent driving, according to the State Patrol.
