AIRWAY HEIGHTS — A 40-year-old Airway Heights woman was killed in a two-car collision on U.S. Highway 2 Thursday evening, Dec. 10.
According to a Washington State Patrol report, a 2003 GMC Envoy driven by Ashley L. Hamilton was exiting the Spoko Fuel station west of the city and making an eastbound turn onto the highway at approximately 6 p.m. when the vehicle was struck by a westbound 1990 Harsco BMY, a five-ton, 6x6 military transport that dates from the Desert Storm-era, driven by 35-year-old Jasper A. Jensen of Spokane.
The Harsco struck the Envoy on the driver’s side, with both vehicles coming to rest in the right lane of Highway 2. Hamilton was transported to Sacred Heart Medical Center where she passed away. Jensen was uninjured.
State Patrol investigators indicated no drugs or alcohol were involved, and have cited the cause of the accident as failure to yield.
