An Enumclaw woman is accused of causing a wreck on state Route 410 that killed two people and injured two others over the weekend.
King County prosecutors charged Michelle Renee Oster, who also goes by the last names Thomas and Walton-Thomas, with two counts of vehicular homicide and two counts of vehicular assault. Prosecutors say Oster’s aggressive driving on Oct. 13 triggered the wreck on Southeast Enumclaw Chinook Road.
Oster’s bail was set at $100,000 on Monday during her court appearance in King County. Her bond was posted the same day, court records show. She is expected to enter an initial plea on Oct. 30 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
