Three people were injured early Saturday morning when two cars that were allegedly drag racing crashed on Oakesdale Avenue Southwest.

At about 12:45 a.m., a Subaru Forrester and a Mazda 3 had just finished a race when one car crossed in front of the other. One of the cars ignited in flames. Arriving officers assisted at least one of the injured away from the burning car.

A King County Sheriff’s helicopter was monitoring the group and the pilot had just called in Renton officers when two of the cars crashed into one another.

The age of the injured parties and their current condition is unavailable.  There is no further information at this time.
