King County: At approximately 8:10pm yesterday evening, June 27, 2022, Washington State Patrol (WSP) communications received a 9-1-1 call advising of a car/semi, serious injury collision WB SR 18 near the Tiger Mountain summit.

Once on scene troopers were able to determine that a blue 2010 Ford Escape was traveling westbound SR 18 approaching Tiger Mountain summit where a semi was disabled in lane 1. The driver of the semi had three reflectorized triangles set out behind his vehicle to warn traffic and prior traffic was navigating around the semi with no problem.  The Ford Escape ran through the triangles and struck the left rear corner of the semi-trailer.

The passenger in the Ford Escape unfortunately lost their life in the collision.  The driver of the Ford Escape exhibited signs of impairment and was placed into custody for investigation of Vehicular Homicide and was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.  The driver of the semi was not injured.

WSP detectives are seeking any witnesses to the collision or observations of the blue Ford Escape prior to the collision.  Please contact Detective Ford at Brody.Ford@wsp.wa.gov.
