Seattle filmmaker and photographer Della Chen died Sunday after a suspected impaired driver crashed into the vehicle she was in on Highway 509 in Burien. Chen, her 18-year-old daughter, and 58-year-old husband were in a Toyota 4Runner when they were struck by a speeding Jeep Grand Cherokee, which caused their vehicle to hit a tree. Chen’s family members were unharmed.
A King County sheriff’s deputy had attempted to stop the Jeep driver for a felony warrant but did not pursue the vehicle before the crash. The 26-year-old Jeep driver was arrested for investigation of vehicular homicide, DUI, and eluding law enforcement, though no charges have been filed. Two 16-year-old passengers were in the Jeep at the time of the crash.
GLP Attorneys extend their heartfelt condolences to the Chen family.
