Woman dies of rollover injuries

Staff reports

A woman died Sunday evening after the Model T she was riding in rolled on U.S. Highway 195 just north of Spangle, the Washington State Patrol said.

Reann Murray, 58, of Camano Island, Wash., was a passenger in a northbound 1920 Ford Model T, the WSP said. The car left the road at 4:09 p.m. Sunday and rolled into the grassy center median of the four-lane, divided highway, a dispatcher said.

Both occupants of the open two-seater were ejected. The driver, Wayne E. Murray, 49, also of Camano Island, was thrown about 30 feet.

Traffic in both directions was halted for 20 minutes so a medical helicopter could land on the highway and pick up Murray, who was taken to Deaconess Medical Center, the WSP said. Murray was pronounced dead at 10:49 p.m., the WSP said.

Murray was also taken to Deaconess.

His condition and the cause of the accident were unavailable late Sunday.

The antique car lacked seat belts, the WSP said in a press release.
