Belfair woman dies in crash

Belfair resident Letricia Macomber, 50, died in a single-car crash May 22 on state Route 106 when her Tesla left the road and hit multiple trees and a power box, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Macomber was driving west in a red Tesla at 7:30 p.m. near Alderwood Road when she veered off the canal-side of the highway.

Macomber’s vehicle caught on fire after the crash and she died at the scene, according to Katherine Weatherwax, State Patrol spokesperson for WSP’s District 8.

Detectives will not be investigating because there are no criminal charges and the fire burned any retrievable data from the Tesla, Weatherwax told the Journal in an email.

The debris field showed Macomber was “most likely driving at a high rate as she failed to negotiate the curve,” Weatherwax said.
