SR 28 is closed in both directions following an apparently fatal collision Sunday afternoon.

The Washington State Patrol is reporting a fatality and multiple injuries in the crash, which occurred near MP 11, slightly east of Rock Island.

Details remain scarce, but "emergency crews are treating the injured," writes Trooper Jeremy Weber on X. "The roadway will be closed for many hours." For now, Weber says, the area is to be strictly avoided.
