A Mukilteo woman driving near the Boeing Co. plant struck and killed a man in a Monday morning crash in Everett.

 

Everett police were called to the scene of the fatal car versus pedestrian collision just before 5 a.m. on the eastbound lane of SR-526 near Seaway Boulevard. They ruled the crash to be an accident.

 

The 56-year-old woman was driving eastbound when her vehicle struck the pedestrian in the roadway, said Everett police Sgt. Robert Goetz.  The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.

 

The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the man as 55-year-old Robert G. Vincler of Marysville.

 

“He was in the roadway at the time of the collision, but we don’t know why he was in the roadway,” Goetz said.

 

The woman stopped the car immediately and was cooperative with investigators, he said.

 

Goetz said it is possible that Vincler had been driving a car that had just been involved in a single-vehicle spinout collision on the ramp leading from Seaway Boulevard to SR-526. A vehicle was left in the grassy median between the roadways.  

 

At this time, there is no indication of alcohol or drug involvement in the crash, he said.

 

He said it also appears that the car-pedestrian collision was not weather related.

 

However, Goetz said the single-vehicle spinout may have been due to ice or slick roadways, based upon the position of the car when it came to a stop.

 

Traffic was diverted to side streets for about two and a half hours while officers investigated the accident.
