A 36-year-old Kent woman died Monday evening in a rollover accident on Route 167 near South 277th Street, according to the Washington State Patrol.
Troopers said the woman was southbound on SR167 in a 1998 Chevrolet Blazer just before 5:30 p.m. when she swerved into the High Occupancy Vehicle lane to avoid slowing traffic and struck another car. Her car rolled, and fire officials reported she was ejected from the vehicle. The woman was taken to Harborview Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.
The driver of the other vehicle, a 59-year-old woman, was not injured.
