A 74 year old man was killed when he lost control of his car, slammed into a tree and
flipped over in the 16700 block of West Valley Hwy. The car was heading north when
the driver veered off the roadway. The vehicle came to rest adjacent to a building on
the east side of the road. No one inside the building was injured and no other vehicles
were involved.
The man was ejected from the vehicle and had already died when Police and Fire
personnel arrived on scene.
The cause of the accident is not yet known, but it is suspected the driver may have
experienced some type of medical problem just prior to the collision.
The Tukwila PD Traffic unit is investigating the incident.
