Passenger killed in rollover crash with unlicensed teen has been identified

A man who died Sunday after being thrown from and crushed by the vehicle he was riding in has been identified as 20-year-old Tyler Jacobi of Puyallup.

Jacobi was the front-seat passenger in a vehicle driven by an unlicensed teenage girl Sunday.

It’s unclear where they were headed when the teen lost control of the car, which left the roadway and rolled several times down an embankment in the 16100 block of 264th Street East.

Jacobi was thrown from the vehicle as it rolled, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.

Prosecutors will determine whether to file criminal charges against the driver.
