Two people died Friday in a head-on collision that the Washington State Patrol said was caused by a wrong-way driver.

The dead were identified as the wrong-way driver, Randal S. Corbin, 32, of Vancouver, and his passenger, Michael B. York, 33, of Washougal.

The driver of the other vehicle, Amy M. Osborne-Clarke, 38, of Vancouver, was injured. She was listed in serious condition Friday afternoon at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center in Vancouver.

The collision occurred at 2:49 a.m. just west of the Andresen Road interchange of Highway 500 in Vancouver. According to the state patrol, Corbin’s Nissan sports car was traveling westbound in the left eastbound lane of the four-lane divided highway when it struck Osborne-Clarke’s Honda Element, a small SUV-type vehicle.

The Nissan caught fire as a result of the collision.

The eastbound lanes of the highway were closed for several hours due to the investigation, reopening just before 8 a.m.
