A Bothell woman who died on Dec. 31, after authorities said the sports utility vehicle she was riding in crossed the center line on State Route 2, hitting another SUV around ten miles east of Skykomish, has been identified.

Elizabeth A. Breysse, 20, of Bothell, was traveling east with driver Bailey D. Hall, 21, also of Bothell, in a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe around 9 a.m. when their SUV crossed the center line and collided with a westbound 2012 Mazda CX9, according to a report by the Washington State Patrol. Two more people, including Hall, were injured in the wreck.

Breysse was pronounced dead at the scene and Hall was taken to EvergreenHealth hospital, the report said.

The passenger of the other vehicle, Jonathan C. Bennette, 30 of Vancouver, was also taken to EvergreenHealth, but the driver of the Mazda, Lincoln D. Bennette, 28, was uninjured, according to the report.

Both vehicles were destroyed by the crash, and the accident is under investigation with charges pending, although troopers said intoxicants were not involved and the road was icy when the crash occurred.
