Washington State Police are seeking additional witnesses to the 15-vehicle crash on Interstate 90 last week in Bellevue that claimed the life of a 9-year-old girl.
The accident occurred at I-90 and Interstate 405 during the morning rush hour on July 20. A semi-tractor trailer jacknifed into a logging truck, causing 13 cars to pile up. Rachel Beckwith was fatally injured in the crash and taken off life support on Saturday.
