Two Chilliwack residents in their 70s are dead after a highway crash in Washington State last week.
Petar Kvenich, 79, and Maria Valkovich, 75, were passengers in a 2000 Honda CRV travelling eastbound on Highway 2 just east of Leavenworth, Wash., on Feb. 8 at 8:40 a.m.
Driver Elizabeth Fortin, 55, of Delta lost control and crossed the centreline, according to a Washington State Patrol press memo.
Fortin’s CRV rotated counter-clockwise and was struck by a 2013 Toyota Rav4 travelling westbound.
