The Suquamish man, who was also airlifted to Harborview, is listed in satisfactory condition.
Two passengers in the Mustang and a passenger in the Buick were treated for minor injuries at Harrison Hospital in Silverdale and Bremerton.
All occupants of both vehicles appeared to be wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor KCSO officials said.
The sheriffs office is investigating the cause of the incident and is interested in speaking to occupants of two vehicles -- a black Mitsubishi Mirage and a medium sized, light colored passenger vehicle -- that were in the area.
