A 63-year-old woman was killed in a collision with another vehicle Saturday, Aug. 24 in Kent in the 4850 block of South 272nd Way near Lake Fenwick Road South.
Lori Ann Smith died of multiple blunt force injuries in the crash, according to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The street is listed with a Kent address but in unincorporated King County, so the crash was handled by the King County Sheriff’s Office. The crash was just west of the West Valley Highway and State Route 167.
Deputies responded at about 4:15 p.m. to the collision between two vehicles, according to a Aug. 26 email from a Sheriff’s Office spokesperson. The woman died at the scene. Another person sustained life-threatening injuries and was taken by medics to a Seattle hospital.
“This is an open and active investigation by our Major Accident Response unit so that is all the information available at this time,” according to the spokesperson.
