Man killed in head-on collision in Tacoma

A Tacoma man died Tuesday in a head-on crash, police said.

Thomas Berry, 61, was traveling north on Pacific Avenue just before 6 p.m. when he either tried to make a westbound turn or suffered a medical emergency near South 37th Street and his pickup truck hit a southbound van, police spokeswoman Shelbie Boyd said.

Berry was pronounced dead after the collision.

The other driver was taken to a local hospital but did not suffer life-threatening injuries.

Investigators were still determining what caused Berry to veer into oncoming traffic.
