REGION Tuesday, August 14, 2018 East Oregonian Page 3A Walla Walla woman killed in crash, local woman hurt By PHIL WRIGHT East Oregonian Two locals were involved in a four-vehicle crash Mon- day that took the life of a Walla Walla woman. The Washington State Patrol reported the deadly wreck occurred about 7:15 a.m. near College Place on State Route 125 and Old Milton Highway. A gray 2003 Volkswa- gen Passat and a white 2013 Volkswagen Jetta were stopped at the traffic light northbound on State Route 125 at Old Milton High- way, and a black 2011 Hyun- dai Sonata was eastbound on Old Milton Highway at State Route 125 when a yellow 2002 Nissan Xterra head- ing south 125 failed to yield to the traffic control device. According to the state patrol, the Nissan crashed into the Hyundai in the intersection, then collided with the two Volkswagens. Ruby Gonzalez-Romero, 27, of Milton-Freewater drove the Passat, and McK- enzie R. Fuhrman, 24, of Weston, drove the Jetta. An ambulance took Gonza- lez-Romero to Providence St. Mary Medical Center, Walla Walla, while Fuhrman was uninjured. Flor I. Perez, 38, of Walla Walla drove the Nissan. She also went to St. Mary. Sydney L. English-Haw- kins, 23, of Walla Walla, drove the Hyundai. She died at the scene. Washington State Patrol also reported a 1-year-old girl and 3-month- old boy were in the Hyundai. They suffered injures and also went to St. Mary. Washington State Patrol reported the crash is under investigation and charges are pending. Oregon State Police responded to several crashes during the weekend, includ- ing the following, and none involved injuries: • Friday at 11:01 p.m. — Mahlon Paul Zehr, 33, of Milton-Freewater was driv- ing a white Ford F150 east on Interstate 84 when he grew drowsy near milepost 196 and drifted into the back of a Jeep Grand Cherokee towing a trailer. • Saturday at 7:09 p.m. — Bryon Christopher Van- denakker, 41, of Lancaster, California, crashed after try- ing to pass a semi-tractor.

The car left the east side of the highway and came to a stop in a field.
