Oak Harbor man dies in dune buggy crash in east Skagit County

A 54-year-old Oak Harbor man died Saturday in a dune buggy accident while riding on Forest Service Road 18 in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in east Skagit County, according to the State Patrol. The man apparently lost control of his dune buggy while rounding a 90-degree turn in the road, hit some rocks and flipped over a cliff, striking trees below. He was declared dead at the scene. The State Patrol said the man was not wearing a helmet. Alcohol or drugs are not believed to have been factors in the accident.
What every family needs to know about Skagit wrongful death claims

When someone is killed in a car, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, or other kind of accident, family members left behind must cope with the tragedy as best they can. Many important decisions need to be made, and a wrongful death claim needs to be filed.

In Skagit, a claim can be filed only by specific family members, but there are strict requirements and deadlines that must be met. It is critical to talk with a Skagit wrongful death attorney to get the information and advice needed to move forward.
