Two killed in wreck on Sophie Road

Two men, one from Sultan and one from Monroe, were killed on Sophie Road Sunday morning when the car in which they were travelling left the road and struck a fence.

At 5:25 a.m., Sheriff’s deputies got a call from a delivery truck driver who reported seeing a car that had driven through a fence on the 23200 Block of Sophie Road, just west of Monroe.

When deputies arrived, they found a car that had driven through a fence, in which both occupants were deceased due to injuries sustained in the crash.

It isn’t known exactly when the crash occurred, but neighbors reported hearing a noise at about 1:30 a.m.

There were no immediate signs that impairment was a factor, and police believe the crash was related to speed. Both men were wearing their seatbelts.

A police investigation is ongoing. The men have not yet been publicly identified, although their next of kin have been notified.
