A semi-truck traveling west crossed over the median and struck a passenger car that was traveling east, Trooper Collin Cumaravel said. The driver of the truck, Danny Ellingford, 42, of Pasco, was not injured.
Ellingford was driving a truck with UPS logos. UPS in a statement said they are saddened and extend their sympathies to those involved.
"We are cooperating with the responding authorities in their investigation. Because this is an active investigation, we will defer to authorities for any further comment," the statement said.
