Two people were killed in a two-vehicle head-on collision Saturday afternoon on U.S. Highway 101 just east of Sequim.

The crash happened just after 1:30 p.m. Dec. 26 when a 2001 Chevrolet PT Cruiser heading east crossed the center line of the highway and hit a 2018 Ram 3500 pickup truck that was going west, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The driver of the Chevrolet, a 40-year-old Port Ludlow woman, died at the scene.

A female passenger in the vehicle was also killed.

The State Patrol has not identified the deceased, pending notification of their next of kin.
