Two teenagers are dead and a man has been arrested after a crash in Port Orchard Monday night that police say started with a game of “leapfrogging.” It happened around 9:45 p.m. near the intersection of Baby Doll Road E and E. Collins Road. The vehicles involved were a pickup truck, driven by a 20-year-old South Kitsap man, and a 1994 Toyota Camry. The Camry was driven by an 18-year-old woman and had two 17-year-old female passengers. Deputies say the car and truck were playing “leapfrog” – a game in which vehicles are constantly passing one another – around an SUV.

Speed and weather appeared to play a role in a crash that left five teenage girls injured -- two of them critically-- in Orange County late Saturday, officials said. Authorities responded just before 11 p.m. when a 2006 Mercury C230 hit a curb, went up an embankment and struck a tree on Melinda Road in Rancho Santa Margarita, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and Orange County Fire Authority. Preliminary investigation shows that slick weather and high speed may have contributed to the crash, officials said.
