Washington State Patrol is looking for a driver who crashed into another vehicle on SR 167, causing that vehicle to crash into a tree and catch fire. 

The driver left the scene after the crash, WSP said. 

The crash was reported just after 2 a.m. on Feb. 27, just south of 212th Street in Kent. When troopers arrived, they saw a vehicle off-road that was on fire. The three people inside the vehicle were able to get out. 

A passenger broke their arm and the driver got a laceration on their arm.
