• Deadly crash: The driver and his male passenger were killed and a female passenger was in critical condition after a rollover crash on Lakeview Blvd E near the Harvard Ave steps early Wednesday morning. Seattle Fire units filled the road near the turn where Lakeview passes under I-5 as the female in her 20s who had been sitting in the vehicle’s back seat was rushed to the hospital. Lakeview remained closed for hours during the investigation of the single-car crash. The two males who died have not yet been identified. The area near the crash including the nearby I-5 exit remained closed into Wednesday’s daylight hours. UPDATE: Here is SPD’s update on the crash.
  

  Detectives are investigating a single vehicle collision that left two people dead.  On 1/1/14, just shortly before 3:00 a.m., a Ford Mustang Convertible was travelling northbound on Lakeview Ave E. As the vehicle entered the 1800 block, the driver for unknown reason, lost control and the vehicle left the roadway.

  The vehicle went sideways and struck a fire [hydrant], which caused it to rollover onto its roof. .

  Seattle Fire Dept. responded to treat the 3 occupants of the vehicle; the driver and a passenger were pronounced dead at the scene. Another passenger suffered minor injuries and was transported to Harborview Medical Center.

  Traffic Collision Investigators responded and processed the scene. The investigation continues.
