Alea Price killed when struck by semi on I-405 in Bellevue on Aug 26

A semi-truck hit and killed a woman, identified the victim as 24-year-old Alea Price of Seattle, who was sitting in her car and waiting for help after she struck a deer on Interstate 405 Monday. Price called 911 several times to report that she was stopped in one of the left lanes on I-405 southbound in Bellevue. Unfortunately, a semi struck the woman's car and pushed it off the left shoulder. Price was alive when medics arrived, but died before making it to the hospital. Troopers said she followed the advice most people hear about what to do after a collision - stay in your car. In this case, though, because her car was in the middle of a busy freeway, investigators said it might have been better to either move the car, or wait somewhere off the road.5 things to know after an accident with a commercial truck After someone is seriously injured in an accident involving a commercial truck, they struggle to deal with injuries, medical treatments, lost work and wages, and growing medical bills.
