Open records summary :
Thurston police received a call that a woman had shown up at someone’s residence and demanded fentanyl. Police were called and located the woman who was allegedly driving with a flat tire in a stolen vehicle. Police chased the vehicle and placed spike strips which flattened the second tire on her right side, causing her to swerve into head on traffic where she crashed into a bystander and killed a person in that vehicle. The chase was allegedly initiated for a failed attempt to procure fentanyl and driving erratically with a flat tire. This is one of several police pursuit fatalities that have occurred since Washington’s governor Jay Insleee eviscerated a previous band on police pursuits in 2023, leading to Washington police chasing and causing fatal accidents again.
