The King County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate an April 13 head-on vehicle crash just outside of Kent that killed a 25-year-old Federal Way woman.

“No updates at this point,” Sheriff’s Office spokesman Stan Seo said in an email on Sept. 17. “The detectives are still investigating, no charges have been filed. We do not have any additional information.”

The Sheriff’s Office reported that a 25-year-old Maple Valley man had allegedly looked down at his phone as his vehicle drifted into oncoming traffic and crashed into another car in the 20200 block of 148th Avenue Southeast near Lake Youngs. A Ford sedan crossed the centerline and collided with a Honda Civic coming the opposite direction.

Sherri White, the driver of the Civic, died at the scene from injuries suffered in the accident. Two passengers in White’s car were injured. The man who drove the Ford was alone and had no injuries.
