Toppenish Woman Killed in Wrong-Way Crash Sunday on I-82
The Washington State Patrol responded late Sunday evening to reports of a 3-car crash on I-82 a few miles west of Zillah near milepost 46. They report that a 27-year-old woman from Toppenish was driving the wrong way in the eastbound lanes when she struck two other vehicles. First, she hit a Chevy Cruze driving in the left lane, then that Chevy Cruze hit a nearby Dodge Charger. The driver of the Chevy Cruze, now identified as a 22-year-old man from Yakima, was transported to the hospital. The 21-year-old driver of the Dodge Charger was uninjured.
27-Year-Old Toppenish Woman Died at the Hospital
The wrong-way driver, the still unidentified 27-year-old woman from Toppenish, was transported to a local hospital in Yakima but sadly died from her injuries. She remains unnamed because her next of kin has not yet been notified. The Washington State Patrol says all 3 involved in the crash were wearing their seatbelts and that drugs or alcohol were involved. This stretch of I-82 between Yakima and the Tri-Cities has seen its share of wrong-way fatal crashes over the last year. Back in November 2023, two people died in a crash between Benton City and Richland. Another was killed just past Yakima on the way to Ellensburg last December on I-82 that killed a man from Wapato.
