GREENBANK — A 16-year-old girl died Saturday afternoon after she was struck by a car while trying to cross Highway 525 about 13 miles north of Clinton.

Tonya Scriven, of Greenbank, was struck about 5 p.m. while attempting to cross the highway at the intersection of Wonn Road. She died at the scene, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The driver of the car, a 58-year-old man from Coupeville, was uninjured, the state patrol said.

No charges were filed against the driver.

It was unclear late Saturday whether the girl was using a cross walk or following traffic signals when she was struck.
