Aaron Gentry Arrested after Deadly DUI Collision near Highway 530

 
ARLINGTON, WA (July 1, 2018) – A woman was killed Sunday afternoon and two others were injured following a head-on collision involving a suspected DUI driver.
 
According to the Washington State Patrol, the collision took place shortly before 4 PM. A 1991 Ford Explorer, driven by 56-year-old Aaron Gentry, of Tulalip was heading north in the southbound lanes of Interstate 5 when it struck a 1997 Toyota Corolla head-on.
 
The impact of the collision caused the Corolla to roll over and land on the cable barrier. The front-seat passenger, 28-year-old Miriam Robinson, of Albany, Oregon sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Corolla’s 30-year-old driver and Robinson’s son sustained minor injuries and were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Three other vehicles were hit by the debris from the crash but no other injuries were reported.
