3 car wreck

MARYSVILLE – An Arlington woman and two children were involved in a three car, four injury accident Monday east of Marysville on Highway 9.

Gricelda, 34, Isabella, 6, and Haliana Hernandez Paz were northbound when a car driven by William Breen, 17, of Lake Stevens going southbound reportedly struck a vehicle from behind driven by Edward Swan, 54, also of Lake Stevens, that was stopped waiting to turn. That collision at 8:31 p.m. pushed Swan’s vehicle into Hernandez Paz’s.

All were injured, except Isabella.

Possible charges against Breen are being investigated by the state patrol.

All three vehicles were totaled.
