A fatal single car collision closed Avondale Road in
Redmond this morning from 3:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.
Contributing factors of the victim's crash are believed to
be high speed and alcohol. There were no other persons
involved.
The Redmond Police Traffic Division estimates the driver, a
30-year-old Kirkland man, was traveling southbound on Avondale Road
in excess of 100 miles per hour when he lost control of the white
Cadillac CTS and swerved across three lanes into a wooded area.
The posted speed limit on Avondale Road is 40 miles per hour.
The driver was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the
collision.
During interviews, Redmond Police learned that the driver
consumed alcohol earlier in the evening. Exact cause of death will
be determined by the Medical Examiner.
