An Olympia man was killed and 4 others injured in wreck on Marvin Road on Monday
A 30-year-old man was killed and four people were injured when their car crashed into a power pole on Marvin Road Northeast on Monday, according to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office.
The driver who died was identified Tuesday as Xavier Weatherby of Olympia, according to the Thurston County Coroner’s Office.
Deputies and the Washington State Patrol were dispatched to the scene about 5:30 p.m., Lt. Cameron Simper said.
Simper said the 1995 Honda Civic was headed north in the 5200 block of Marvin Road Northeast. In that area of the county, Marvin Road becomes one lane in each direction.
Simper said the car tried to pass a van, then the 30-year-old driver over-corrected his steering and the car slid sideways into a power pole.
The driver was killed, he said. The four passengers were seriously injured and taken to an area hospital, Simper added.
“Speed was obviously a factor in the crash,” he said.
