AGNEW — Nathan Ruffcorn, 29, of Port Angeles, was killed in a rollover wreck on Old Olympic Highway early this morning (Thursday, Sept. 8).

His eastbound late-model Honda Accord veered off Old Olympic Highway after 2 a.m., rolling and coming to rest on its roof.

The wrecked car was found about 150 feet north of Old Olympic Highway in a farm field near the Agnew Grocery and Feed store at Matson Road.

Ruffcorn died at the scene of severe head injuries, said Clallam County Fire District 3 paramedics who tried to revive him.

“We think he fell asleep at the wheel,” said his mother and Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal member, Linda Ruffcorn, a retired 7 Cedars Casino finance officer.
