Driver killed in Parkland crash; a dozen vehicles damaged

A Renton man was killed when the Jeep Cherokee he was driving hurtled off the road and smashed into a dozen cars in an auto dealership lot in Parkland, near Tacoma.

PARKLAND, Wash. —

A Renton man was killed when the Jeep Cherokee he was driving hurtled off the road and smashed into a dozen cars in an auto dealership lot in Parkland, near Tacoma.

The Washington State Patrol says the accident about 3:30 a.m. Sunday killed Anthony T. McDonald, who was thrown from the Jeep.

Troopers found the Jeep still running on top of some cars in the sales lot at Parkland Chevrolet.

General Manager Tim Shea estimates damage to the dealership's vehicles at $200,000 to $400,000.

In another fatal accident in the south Puget Sound area, a 22-year-old Lacey woman, Natalie J. McLaughlin, was killed just after midnight Sunday when another vehicle crossed the centerline of U.S. Highway 12 in Thurston County and smashed head-on into her car.
