PUYALLUP — Divers have recovered the body of a 19-year-old woman who was killed in a fatal crash so violent it ripped her car in half and threw half in the Puyallup River.
The State Patrol says her car fishtailed out of control and hit an oncoming car about 5:30 a.m. today on Highway 167, the River Road.
Trooper Brandy Kessler told KOMO-TV a 14-year-old girl in the passenger seat sustained minor injuries and was taken to Mary Bridge Hospital in Tacoma.
A man in his late 20s who was driving the oncoming car was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with critical injuries.
Troopers say a woman in her 20s was found later on the bank of the Puyallup River near Fife and said she had been thrown in the river by the crash.
