Four Die In Drunk Driving Collision in Washington State | Victim's Rights Attorney

Three men were killed and two others injured in a DUI roll-over accident in Mason County, Washington.  All of the young men were in their late teens and early 20s. 
The crash occurred near the intersection of Highway 3 and Homestead Drive, on March 6, 2011. 

Three of the passengers in the 1990 Chevrolet Corsica were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the vehicle and one of the other passengers were injured.

The three fatal victims of this crash have been identified as Bryan J. Blackburn; Daniel S. Tedder Tyler S. Jankunas.

The driver, James Schuchard was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. When he is released he will face possible vehicular homicide charges. 

Apparently the car was heading south on Highway 3 when it failed to successfully negotiate a left-hand turn.  The car left the road and slammed into a large tree then continued to roll over and spin before finally coming to rest.
