Woman killed after tree falls on car, driver critically injured

Описание: A tragic accident unfolded on Carnation-Duvall Road northeast and Fay Road northeast (SR 203) on Saturday, where a tree fell onto a car, killing one person and leaving another seriously hurt.

The falling tree sparked a two-vehicle car crash that shut down both directions of Carnation-Duvall Road for more than three hours, according to the Washington State Patrol (WSP).

Troopers report that a Subaru Forester was going southbound just north of Fay Road Northeast when a tree fell onto it, shattering on impact.

Debris from the tree was then scattered across the roadway.

The Subaru, after being hit by the falling tree, continued forward and stopped against a guardrail, blocking the southbound lane.

Eastside Fire & Rescue crews responded to the scene of the single-vehicle collision at around 2:30 p.m.

“We were able to remove the doors, using the Jaws [of Life], remove the driver's door, and make access – there was also a roof rack on top of the car, so we weren’t able to get into the top,” explained Battalion Chief Seth Merritt.

In that SUV, they found a 44-year-old woman from Duvall had died due to the impact; she was not wearing a seatbelt, the WSP said.

The driver of the Subaru, a 49-year-old man from Skykomish, suffered life-threatening injuries and was rushed to the nearby Stillwater Elementary school, which is a site that Merritt explained has been designated as a spot for helicopters to land.
