A man was seriously injured following a traffic collision Thursday in Bremerton.
As per the initial information, the two-vehicle crash took place in the 3800 block of Kitsap Way before rush hour. The authorities responded to the scene at around 3:46 p.m. The man who was injured was driving a Geo Metro on the road when his car collided with a Chevrolet Suburban that was preparing to turn onto the road.
The victim was airlifted to a Seattle hospital in serious condition. The man, described as in his 50s, and living in Kitsap County, remained at Harborview Medical Center late Thursday. His current condition remains unknown at this time. Investigators determined that there was no crime and no injuries were reported from those in the Suburban.
According to the eyewitnesses, they heard a loud sound before the crash, possibly a tire blowout, which could explain that the cause of the crash was a mechanical problem with the Geo. The roadway was blocked for about an hour while crews worked at the scene. No further details are available.
The investigation continues.
