Followup: Driver identified in deadly West Seattle Bridge crash

For those who have asked – the driver killed in the Friday morning rollover on the westbound side of the West Seattle Bridge highrise has now been publicly identified: The King County Medical Examiner’s Office says the driver was 27-year-old Joshua Bowen. The police account of the Friday morning crash says witnesses saw Bowen’s car speeding, and that he was not wearing a seat belt. No one else was in the car. A comment added an hour ago after our Friday morning report, by “A friend,” says: “The driver involved in this crash will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and acquaintances. He was a good person and he is no longer with us. Rest in Peace.”

I saw that but mostly was looking for evidence of any ties to WS, which that page doesn’t yield, nor do public databases. If anyone who reads this knows him and has any other info to share, like a memorial, hopefully they will add it here – TR
