PORT TOWNSEND — A Port Townsend woman was arrested for investigation of DUI vehicular homicide after a single-vehicle fatal crash on Center Road at 6 p.m. Friday.
Booked into the Jefferson County Jail was the driver, Allysia Grace Bishop, 27, of Port Townsend.
Jefferson County Undersheriff Andy Pernsteiner said that “drugs and or alcohol appear to be a factor as well as a high rate of speed.”
He said a passenger in the vehicle Bishop was driving, a 31-year-old Port Townsend man, was killed when the northbound vehicle went off the side of the road on a curve.
Pernsteiner said identification of the victim is pending notification of next of kin.
The wreck happened at milepost 4.6 just north of Larson Lake Road.
Bishop was not seriously injured and was transported directly to jail, Pernsteiner said. She was booked into jail at 7:38 p.m.
The wreck closed Center Road between Egg and I Road and Larson Lake Road from 6:15 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and State Patrol continue the investigation.
