A King County sheriff's deputy was seriously injured in a crash early Tuesday morning on State Route 202.
The exact nature of the deputy's injuries was not known, but sheriff spokesman John Urquhart said the man was expected to survive.
Urquhart said the deputy may have been speeding on SR-202 when he lost control near Sahalee Way about 1:40 a.m. and crashed down and embankment and into a tree.
The 33-year-old deputy was able to use his radio to call for help after the crash, and he was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Urquhart said the deputy was not involved in a pursuit or responding to an emergency call at the time of the crash.
"It appears that speed may have been a contributing factor. He was definitely moving along at a pretty good clip," Urquhart said. "But it's still under investigation and we've got to determine exactly what happened."
The highway was shut down for several hours while investigators collected evidence at the scene and crews worked to clear the wreck.
Urquhart said the deputy is assigned to the City of Sammamish and works as a DUI patrol unit. He has been a police officer for 11 years.
