An elderly man lost his life following a multi-vehicle wreck Tuesday evening in Ferndale.
As per the initial information, the fatal three-vehicle pile-up took place on Interstate 5. The early reports indicated that a 66-year-old Deming man was traveling southbound on I-5 when his vehicle spun out and ended up sideways in the first two lanes. After that, two other vehicles going southbound crashed into his car. The man died of his injuries as a result of the accident.
He was not buckled up at the time of the collision. The other two drivers were wearing seatbelts at that time and remained uninjured. The incident led to the closure of the roadway at mile marker 263 for several hours as crews worked at the scene. No further information has been provided.
An investigation is ongoing.
