On July 17, 2024, two vehicles collided on State Route 9 in Whatcom County. The head-on accident occurred when a van heading south crossed the other lane and crashed into a car with two elderly Bellingham residents. Following the accident, the elderly couple was transferred to a hospital for their injuries. The driver of the van did not have any injuries, and it was reported that the cause of the crash was due to distracted driving.
Judith Cook, the 87-year-old woman involved in the collision, lost her life from the injuries she sustained. Tragedies from car accidents can be prevented, and it is important to remain vigilant on the road.
