A 72-year-old SeaTac woman was killed after her car collided with a semi truck at about 5:34 p.m. July 14 in the 27600 block of 68th Avenue South, also known as the West Valley Highway.<\/p>\n
Mary L. Johnson, died from blunt force injuries to her body, according to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office July 15 report.<\/p>\n
Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene by the Kent Fire Department, according to a Kent Police media release.<\/p>\n
Johnson was alone in the car. The driver of the semi was uninjured.<\/p>\n
Initially, Johnson had been involved in a minor collision with another car, just north of the South 277th Street intersection. She had stopped to exchange information with the driver of that car.<\/p>\n
Johnson then got back into her car and reportedly made a left turn from the shoulder across the northbound lane of traffic.<\/p>\n
The semi, heading northbound, was unable to stop and collided into the driver’s side of the car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
