OAKVILLE, Wash. (AP) — The Grays Harbor County undersheriff says alcohol appears to be a factor in a crash that killed three on a logging road near Oakville on New Year’s Eve.

KOMO-TV (http://is.gd/ZFYJur ) says a car went off the road and struck a tree.

Undersheriff Rick Scott says three of the people inside the car — a 52-year-old male driver, a 26-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman — were pronounced dead at the scene. Another passenger, a 49-year-old woman, was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center.

Scott says alcohol appears to be a factor in the crash.
