PANAWAY, WASHINGTON
The Washington State Patrol says a Tacoma man has died in a
fiery crash near Spanaway and a driver who ran from the scene has been
arrested.
The patrol says 50-year-old Todd Morose was killed Saturday
night when a pickup truck crossed the center line on State Route 507 and hit
his SUV head-on. The pickup truck rolled and caught fire.
Trooper Guy Gill says a detective found a man "hiding
in the woods" several hours after the collision and he admitted to running
from the scene.
Matthew Haygood, of Roy, was booked into Pierce County Jail
Sunday morning on investigation of vehicular homicide, vehicular assault,
hit-and-run and driving under the influence.
He was injured in the crash, along with Morose's three
passengers, a 50-year-old woman and two children.
