Original post: One man is dead after a two-car collision on Redmond-Fall City Road, also called state Route 202, that happened around 1 p.m. Friday near Duthie Hill Road.

The Washington State Patrol is still investigating the scene and hasn't released the identification of those involved, but Trooper Julie Judson said that apparently the driver who died was pulling onto Highway 202 when his car was struck on the driver's side by another vehicle.

There appear to have been some injuries of those in the other car, but the extent is not yet known.

WSDOT is advising drivers to look for alternate routes, as eastbound 202 is currently blocked east of Duthie Hill Road and could continue to be closed for some time.

Patch will update this story with more information as it becomes available.
