FOLLOWUP: Driver dies after West Marginal Way crash

Early Friday, we reported on a single-vehicle crash in the 3800 block of West Marginal Way SW. Firefighters cut open the car – reported to have been “wrapped around a tree” – to get two people out. According to the King County Medical Examiner‘s latest list of death investigations, the driver did not survive. He is identified as 20-year-old Brian U. Nambo Perez. We don’t know the current condition of the other person rescued from the wreckage, a woman reported to be in her 20s, but she was initially described as less gravely injured.

So sad. These were someone’s children. Perhaps a brother or a sister. Prayers for their families. They were/are so very young.

People who are not sure of their driving skills or new to driving should stay away from this road. I have experience driving this road for a long time and avoid it if you drive aggressively or fast too many large freight trucks which have experienced drivers using this road make it a difficult roadway to interpret.

Sorry, comment time is over.
