News brief: Early morning crash on state Route 6 leaves Chehalis woman dead

A 21-year-old Chehalis woman was killed this morning when her car left the road on state Route 6 and crashed into a tree.

Troopers and aid were called about 3:40 a.m. to the scene about two miles west of Interstate 5 at Chehalis.

Her 1998 Ford Escort crossed the oncoming lanes, hit a mail box, a tree and came to rest against a power pole, according to the Washington State Patrol. The car was destroyed.

“She was in the car alone, driving east toward town and we don’t know why her car went off the road,” state patrol Sgt. Jeff Speer said. It was an unwitnessed collision, he said.

Ivy M. Dolowy, 21, suffered massive trauma and was dead at the scene, according to the state patrol.

The wreck left power lines down across the highway for about an hour.

Speer indicated neither the power lines nor the fact troopers are not certain what time it happened hampered any rescue efforts. The impact into the tree was severe and it was not a survivable collision, he said.

The state patrol is asking anyone who saw it happen to contact Trooper Dorsey at 1-800-283-7805.
