A 26-year-old woman died Sunday morning in a multi-car crash on Interstate 5 near the West Seattle Bridge, according to the Washington State Patrol.
The collision occurred around 4 a.m. Sunday when a motor home struck the woman, who had gotten out of a disabled car, which had been hit by another vehicle that already left the scene, State Patrol spokesperson Trooper Rick Johnson said.
While an ambulance stopped to help, it was struck by another vehicle, which flipped the ambulance onto its top and pushed it into the original disabled vehicle, hitting the woman again.
The woman, from Kent, died at the scene.
The driver of the car that hit the ambulance, a 33-year-old man from Arizona, is being investigated for vehicular homicide and driving under the influence. A passenger in his car was hurt and taken to Harborview Medical Center.
All southbound lanes of I-5 at the West Seattle Bridge were blocked for much of the morning, causing a traffic jam that stretched more than a mile, before reopening around 9:15 a.m.
