Two people have now died after a car rolled multiple times on a September morning and landed in a slough in southwest Washington, according to Washington State Patrol.

Four people were in the car when it rolled, including a baby girl who died from her injuries on Oct. 13 at a Portland, Oregon hospital.

About 8:30 a.m. Sept. 19, the car was headed west on state Route 432 in Longview, Washington. Troopers say the car left the road, rolled multiple times and landed on its roof in a slough.

The driver, a 26-year-old Longview woman, died at the scene. She was identified as Celeste A. Williams.

A 19-year-old Longview man and a 5-year-old Longview girl were both injured and taken to St. John Medical Center in Longview.

The infant girl was taken to Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland.
