2 killed 2 injured June 16, 2014 SR 522 Maltby Eclipse Fusion Wrong Way Crash  On SR 522 in Maltby, Washington, a Mitsubishi Eclipse driven by Gerardo Martinez Urrutia with daughter Bella in back appeared to be driving drowsy when it struck some construction barrels, overcorrected, and crossed into the opposing lanes, killing the two occupants of a Ford Fusion. Some believe this section of highway which is not separated is dangerous. A week before, a wrong way driver appeared to be deliberately driving on the wrong side of the road, striking and forced a King County deputy off the road in a rollover crash.

  • The man driving the Eclipse, Gerardo Martinez Urrutia, (name is basque) was badly injured.  He was immediately taken to Harborview for surgery for internal injuries and is expected to live.  His daughter, Bella, has a spinal fracture and artery damage, which are life-threatening injuries. Everyone in the crash was wearing seatbelts, and officers said they do not suspect drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash.  Witnesses told troopers Urrutia’s driving looked “as if he had fallen asleep.”

  • the Mitsubishi was heading eastbound,” said trooper Keith Leary. “It drifted to the shoulder, and struck one of the large construction barrels.”
    It appears the driver then tried to over-correct and crossed the center line, hitting an oncoming car, a Ford Fusion. Both people in that car died.
    The driver of the Mitsubishi and a young child were taken to the hospital in critical condition.
    “We’re going to look at was the driver distracted? Was he looking at the child? Was he looking at something on the road?” Leary said.
    The road itself could be a factor. In 2000, Reader’s Digest named the 10-mile stretch of 522 between Woodinville and Monroe one of America’s most dangerous highways.
