Arthur Whetstone 69, killed after losing control of his vehicle on snowy S.R. 9, crossing into oncoming traffic and colliding with pickup.

A 69-year-old man was killed in snowy crash along SR-9 in Lake Stevens Saturday evening, February 8, 2014. The collision happened just before 10 p.m. near where the highway intersects with SR-92. Arthur Whetstone was driving south on SR-9 when he lost control and spun out sideways into the northbound lanes. Moments later, he was struck by a pickup truck and was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the pickup truck was treated at the scene for minor injuries. Both speed and snow appear to be factors, as there was about 1 inch of snow at the time of the crash and snow was still falling.
