RENTON
Victim in fatal sports car crash identified
The man who died Saturday afternoon in an accident when a small sports
car overturned was identified Monday as Brian W. Pepper, 34, of Renton.
An autopsy found he died of severe head injuries, said an investigator
for the King County Medical Examiner's Office.
Renton police are still investigating the accident, but believe speed and
alcohol are factors, police spokeswoman Penny Bartley said Monday.
The accident occurred about 5:40 p.m. Saturday when a 1969 MG Midget
driven west on South 55th Street by Pepper failed to negotiate a curve
and flipped over, trapping him and a passenger underneath.
The passenger, a 23-year-old man, was taken to Harborview Medical Center
for treatment of injuries. Further information about his condition wasn't
available Monday. Pepper was pronounced dead at the scene of the
accident.
