A 21-year-old Blaine area man was transported to the hospital with minor injuries after crashing his vehicle into a tree in Semiahmoo early in the morning of April 20.
North Whatcom Fire and Rescue chief Jason Van Der Veen said the man left the road and struck a tree at the intersection of Drayton Harbor Road and Semiahmoo Parkway about 1:35 a.m. Drugs or alcohol were suspected in the accident, Van Der Veen said.
The fire district transported the man to St. Joseph Medical Center in Bellingham for lacerations to his face and hands.
The car was “completely destroyed” and considered a total loss, said Blaine police sergeant Tim Richardson.
The man was driving a white 2014 Subaru Legacy, Richardson said. No other occupants were in the vehicle.
The vehicle speed has not been determined, Richardson said.
