SNOQUALMIE, Wash. -- Troopers say a 14-year-old girl was driving drunk with her mother passed out in the passenger seat when she lost control and flipped the van Tuesday morning on Highway 18.
The girl was thrown from the Dodge Caravan and suffered severe head and spine injuries, but is expected to survive. Her 32-year-old mother was not seriously injured.
The crash, which occurred about 5:30 a.m. in the eastbound lanes near Tiger Mountain, brought traffic to a standstill, and part of the highway was closed for several hours while troopers investigated the crash.
Trooper Cliff Pratt said malt liquor containers were found inside the vehicle and both the teen and her mother appeared to be heavily intoxicated.
"She was so intoxicated talking to troopers at the scene she couldn't even remember her date of birth," Pratt said of the young driver.
Pratt said the mother told troopers varying stories, claiming at different times to be the girl's sister or cousin.
Both are being treated at Overlake Hospital.
Pratt said both the driver and her mother could face a long list of charges, including vehicular assault, DUI, and reckless endangerment.
