A 92-year-old Bellingham driver died after his car didn’t stop at a Skagit County intersection and was struck by two others, Saturday afternoon, Sept. 4, according to a Washington State Patrol news release.
The driver and passenger of the second car, a 2008 Toyota RAV4, were injured in the collision and taken to Skagit Valley Hospital. The driver, a 71-year-old man, and his passenger, a 76-year-old woman, both from Deming, were treated and released, according to the hospital’s nursing supervisor on Sunday, Sept. 5.
The third car, a 1992 Honda Accord, was driven by a 23-year-old Burlington man who was not injured, according to the news release.
The Bellingham man was driving a 1998 Oldsmobile 88 eastbound on Josh Wilson Road at 2:40 p.m. when he failed to stop at the stop sign at Farm to Market Road.
