SEATTLE — A woman killed Tuesday when a car crashed into her bedroom at a North Seattle assisted-living home has been identified as Lavonne Bennett.
The King County Medical Examiner’s Office says the 72-year-old died from blunt-force injuries with compressive asphyxia, and her death was ruled an accident.
The Seattle Times reported Bennett was sitting in a recliner in her first-floor bedroom Tuesday when a Mercedes-Benz crashed through an exterior wall around 11 a.m.
Seattle Fire Department Lt. Harold Webb said an 88-year-old woman who also lived at the facility was the driver.
Police said she was not injured and showed no signs of impairment.
