Driver, 28, killed in crash on Interstate 5 in Napavine 

The Washington State Patrol is investigating after a 28-year-old Longview man was killed in a crash on Interstate 5 in Napavine on Tuesday night. 

Jared I. Cox died at the scene of the crash in the southbound lanes of Interstate 5 near mile marker 70 at about 11:30 p.m., according to the Washington State Patrol. 

Cox was stopped in the left lane in his 2020 Toyota Camry when his vehicle was struck by a 2016 BMW driven by Cheng Wei Huang, 57, of Hillsboro, Oregon. Huang and his 23-year-old passenger — Hsi Fu Huang — were not injured.

Both vehicles were totaled. 

It is unknown whether drugs or alcohol played a factor in the crash, according to the state patrol.
