TACOMA, Wash. — A 63-year-old man has died after his car flipped over on a Pierce County road late last night.
According to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, 911 callers reported the single-vehicle collision along Vickery Avenue East, just after midnight Thursday.
Deputies arrived alongside Central Pierce Fire and Rescue crews and allegedly found the vehicle upside down in a ditch on the east side of the roadway.
Firefighters were able to extricate the driver, a 63-year-old man who was later declared dead.
