Update

A head-on collision involving a vehicle reportedly trying to pass a semi tractor-trailer rig in a no-passing zone has killed three people.

It appears a man driving a Chevrolet Tahoe eastbound was trying to pass another car in a no-passing zone and as he crossed the bridge he smashed head-on into a Chevrolet Malibu occupied by two men.

It happened about 4:00 p.m. Thursday on SH 266, also known as 46th Street North, near 145th East Avenue.

Several agencies responded to the scene of the crash and authorities completely shut down SH 66 at the scene of the crash.

The Tahoe driver and both men in the Malibu died from their injuries.

Investigators have not released the names or the ages of those involved.
