Seattle Fire Department personnel work at the scene of a fatal crash Sunday on Westlake Avenue North near the Fremont Bridge.
One man was killed and two women were injured Sunday when a sports car collided with a sedan in the 2500 block of Westlake Avenue North.
Seattle police spokesman Mark Jamieson said police were called to the area at 4:54 p.m. after a head-on crash involving a Porsche convertible and a Ford Taurus.
The man driving the Porsche was pronounced dead at the scene, and a woman who was his passenger was hospitalized with critical injuries. The woman driving the second car was hospitalized with serious injuries.
Jamieson said the Porsche may have been speeding when the driver lost control and veered into the northbound lane of traffic.
Both women were taken to Harborview Medical Center.
The identities of the people were not released Sunday.
Traffic was detoured around Westlake Avenue North for several hours during the police investigation.
