SKYKOMISH, Wash. — Eastbound Highway 2 is back open after a fatal crash on Stevens Pass closed the roadway.

The highway was closed for nearly four hours after two people were killed in a crash near the top of the pass Sunday afternoon. According to officials, one vehicle traveling westbound lost control and crossed into the eastbound lanes, where it was struck by another vehicle. Both drivers, one of whom was a 17-year-old, were pronounced dead at the scene.

The cause of the crash has not yet been determined. A few inches of snow fell on Stevens Pass over the weekend, and snow was falling again Sunday afternoon, according to KING 5’s radar.

Those travelling through Stevens Pass are advised to drive carefully.
