VANCOUVER, WA (March 6, 2018) – A fatal t-bone accident occurred on Tuesday morning on the 800 block of NW 99th Street, in front of Columbia River High School.
 
According to reports, a student was pulling out of the high school parking lot on 99th in a green Subaru Legacy around 10:15 AM, when it crashed into a westbound grey Volkswagen Jetta with an elderly couple inside.
 
Police officials and Fire District 6 personnel arrived at the scene of the accident and pronounced the elderly woman dead. Her male passenger suffered life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. The student was also hospitalized with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
