The Lewis County Coroner’s Office says the 42-year-old man who died in a single-vehicle accident early Saturday morning on Tucker Road north of Toledo is Bruce Larson, of Onalaska.
The sheriff’s office reports he is from Morton.
Aid and deputies called about 3:20 a.m. found Larson deceased in the driver’s set of a Toyota Corolla station wagon and found his passenger, a 39-year-old Morton woman sitting on the ground next to the car, according to responders.
It appeared the car was eastbound and left the roadway at a slight curve, continued on and then crossed back over the road jumping a ditch and came to rest in the grass where it collided with two trees, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. It was described as a total loss.
Lewis County Fire District 2 Chief Grant Wiltbank said the passenger was airlifted to Southwest Washington Medical Center in Vancouver to be evaluated. The sheriff’s office reported this morning she was taken to Providence Centralia Hospital.
Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said she had no information this morning on the passenger’s condition.
The Washington State Patrol is assisting in the investigation, according to the sheriff’s office.
