She wasn't a man!!

Thanks for alerting us to this error, Jacqueline. The initial version of the Seattle Times article, which was our original source, said that the victim was male. It has since been corrected, and I've added a second source that confirms this as well. Thanks again for letting us know so that we could fix it.

Yes, accuracy would be appropriate here. Sheereen Sadighi went by Sherrie, she was a woman, the manager of the Oak Harbor Haggen.

Thank you, Jordan. As I mentioned in my reply to Jacqueline, early media reports, which we rely on for our information, reported that a man had died in this accident. Accuracy is very important to us, so we're grateful to our readers for alerting us to these types of mistakes.
