TULALIP, Wash. — Four people died Tuesday morning when their truck crashed into a pond in Tulalip.

The truck left the road near the 7500 block of Totem Beach Rd. around 3:30 a.m. and went through a concrete embankment and into a fisheries and rearing pond, said Shari Ireton with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies reached the truck to find two men and two women were dead, Ireton said.

They are still investigating what caused the crash. Ireton says they won’t know if drugs or alcohol were involved until all the evidence is gathered and toxicology tests are complete.

Ireton says the county medical examiner will identify the victims and determine how they died.
