Man killed in Frederickson over weekend in single-car rollover crash
A 37-year-old man was killed Saturday night when his SUV tore through several trees and a fence alongside a Frederickson road, causing the vehicle to roll and eject the man.
The crash occurred at about 10:15 p.m. at the intersection of 176th Street East and 70th Avenue East. Pierce County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Darren Moss said the driver was traveling east on 176th at a high rate of speed.

The driver died at the scene. He has not been identified.
Moss said he wasn’t sure how fast the driver was going or what caused the crash.
