According to the Thurston County Sheriff's Office, a deputy tried stopping a reckless driver who then sped off. This started on Yelm Highway in Olympia and ended in Tumwater. Deputies say the driver hit another vehicle and a person in that car died. The suspect was eventually caught and was booked into jail for investigation of vehicular homicide and eluding police.
