A 31-year-old Bothell man died on I-5 on Friday morning when a pair of tires came loose off a truck, crossed the freeway and collided with the van he was riding in.
The accident happened about 10:40 a.m. in Tukwila, as John Ellis rode in the front passenger seat of a van being driven by another Bothell resident, according to the Washington State Patrol.
Two tires came off the left side of a northbound truck and trailer. The tires crossed the freeway and struck the front passenger side. Ellis died at the scene, the State Patrol said.
