Shock and grief after a 70-year-old grandmother was killed by a driver trying to get away from police. Her family shares memories of a woman who had just arrived in Washington state to visit family.
The fatal crash happened on Pacific Avenue Southeast in Olympia just before 5 o’clock Saturday night.
The Thurston County Sheriff says a 33-year-old Seattle woman driving a stolen car refused to pull over and struck an innocent vehicle head on.
As you might guess, they are devastated but they are angry, too. Their mother came here to visit her sister, see her new nephew.
They were driving here along Pacific Avenue Southeast when a car came barreling head-on toward them with terrible consequences.
“It’s really upsetting, why that person is out on the streets is very surprising to say the least, said Greg Munna.”
It is easy to hear the anger in Greg Munna’s voice, just hours after his 70-year-old mother, newly arrived in Olympia to celebrate her last surviving sister’s birthday, killed by a Seattle driver with a long rap sheet, while fleeing local police.
