Immediately, the paramedics took Armstrong to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for his injuries.

Moreover, the emergency rescuers airlifted the Honda driver, a 58-year-old Bothell man, to Harborview. They also airlifted a Toyota passenger, a 32-year-old Yakima woman, to the Seattle Hospital.

The rescuers also took the Toyota driver, a 38-year-old Ridgefield, WA resident, to Kittitas Valley hospital.

According to the investigators, Armstrong and the two Toyota occupants were not wearing seatbelts during the accident.

Officers say Armstrong was driving impaired. They expect him to be charged with vehicular assault and driving with a suspended license.

The authorities are investigating this incident.
