A 39-year-old man died after a head-on wreck on state Route 410 east of Bonney Lake on Wednesday night, according to Washington State Patrol spokeswoman Brooke Bova.
The Bonney Lake man was driving a Ford F250 when the crash happened about 8 p.m. in the 23400 block of Route 410 East, outside Bonney Lake’s city limits, East Pierce Battalion Chief Jim Jaques said Friday night. He was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital where he died later that evening.

Both drivers were wearing seat belts, according to the Washington State Patrol.
The crash is under investigation, but a statement released by Washington State Patrol said the Ford F250 was traveling eastbound when it crossed the center line and collided with the other vehicle, a Ford Escape.
The highway was blocked for nearly four hours. Bonney Lake Police tweeted at 1:19 a.m. that the road was open.
