Responding officers found four vehicles involved and four people were pronounced dead at the scene. Another three people had life-threatening injuries, and one patient had minor injuries, the sheriff's office said.
Police said the driver was one of those who were seriously injured and was being treated at Harborview Medical Center while under guard.

Victims identified
Officials identified those who died in the crash as Andrea Hudson, 38, Boyd Brown, 12; Matilda Wilcoxson, 13; and Eloise Wilcoxson, 12. According to the Seattle Times, the three kids who were killed were the children of Hudson's close friends and were passengers in her car.
"Our condolences go out to the families who have been impacted by this unimaginable tragedy," the sheriff's office wrote in its news release.
According to the charging documents, two of Hudson’s children remained hospitalized in intensive care with severe injuries, including brain bleeds and broken bones, as of Friday.

Jones was booked into jail after he was released from the hospital on Friday and is currently awaiting trial, according to online jail records.
His arraignment is scheduled for April 4, local outlets reported.
