GRAHAM — Pierce County sheriff’s investigators say a high-speed, head-on crash that killed two people near Graham has been ruled a homicide-suicide.

KOMO-TV says sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer reports that a 19-year-old man driving a Ford Mustang and a 50-year-old man driving a pickup were both killed Monday on a rural highway. They were not immediately identified. There were no passengers.

A preliminary investigation shows the Mustang was traveling at more than 100 mph.

Deputies who went to notify the teen’s relatives learned he had left a suicide note saying he planned to drive his car into a power pole at 120 mph.
