A 71-year-old woman died Wednesday in a four-car crash on state Route 7 in Spanaway, according to the Washington State Patrol.
Kim Bigham, of Tacoma, was traveling southbound on SR 7 about 3:15 p.m. when she crossed into oncoming traffic and struck two vehicles near 195th Street East.
One of those vehicles struck a Jeep Wrangler.
Troopers say Bigham suffered a medical emergency and lost control of her Chevy Cobalt.
Two other involved drivers, a 59-year-old Tacoma woman and 49-year-old Lakewood man, were injured in the collision.
Bigham was pronounced dead at the scene.
The State Patrol shut down that section of SR 7 for nearly three hours while they investigated the wreck.
