BELFAIR, Wash. (AP) — The Washington State Patrol says three men were killed and two others injured when their car ran off the road, crashed into a tree and rolled early Sunday.

Killed were 22-year-old Bryan Blackburn, of Bremerton, and 20-year-old Daniel Tedder, of Belfair. A third man was not identified because his next of kin had not been notified.

The crash happened at about 3:45 a.m. on State Route 3 near Belfair in Mason County.

The 20-year-old driver, James Schuchard, of Port Orchard, was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He faces possible vehicular homicide charges. Eighteen-year-old Benjamin Blackburn, of Olympia, was taken to Mason General Hospital.
