The Bonney Lake teenager, a passenger in the Honda, was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup.

The driver of the Honda, Randy Wade, 18, of Liberty Lake, Wash., and a 16-year-old Spanaway female escaped injuries.

WSP reported all the car's passengers were wearing seat belts.

The southbound lane was closed of several hours as troopers alternated traffic one-way in the northbound lane.

WSP reported excessive speed and reckless driving caused the accident and charges are pending.
