PORT ANGELES — The driver of the runaway recreational vehicle that crashed into two cars on Race Street before overturning in Peabody Creek ravine on Tuesday died today at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
The King County Medical Coroner’s Office first confirmed the death to the Peninsula Daily News, after unconfirmed reports of the death of Lonnie Owens of Fair Grove, Mo., were prematurely released in e-mails from at least two agencies in Port Angeles earlier today.
A full report appears in the Friday/Saturday editions of the Peninsula Daily News.

PORT ANGELES – When an out-of-control motor home fell off a 20-foot embankment Tuesday afternoon, it sounded like thunder.
It felt like it, too, Will Possinger said on Wednesday.
He and 15-year-old Stephen Bales, both of Port Angeles, were less than a block away from the 3 p.m. multiple-vehicle collisions at the intersection of Race Street and Lauridsen Boulevard.
They were among the first people there and among the first to call 9-1-1.
