The female driver who was killed on State Route 522 in Bothell this morning has been identified.
Kirkland resident Aireen Paige, 38, was traveling the wrong way on State Route 522 early this morning when her Toyota Camry collided head-on with a Toyota Land Cruiser driven by a Woodinville woman.
The collision took place around 5:50 a.m., as Paige’s vehicle was traveling eastbound in the westbound lane just west of Interstate 405.
Paige died at the scene and the driver of the second vehicle was take to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to Washington State Trooper Dominic Ledesma.
SR 522 was closed just after the crash to all drivers heading west into Bothell from Woodinville.
“We just got the road open,” Ledesma said at 9:30 a.m. “We don’t believe that alcohol or drugs were a factor.”
The accident remains under investigation.
