A 52-year-old woman who died last week in a single-vehicle wreck on Littlerock Road has been identified, according to the Thurston County Coroner.
About 4 p.m. Thursday, April 24, Thurston County Sheriff’s Office deputies and West Thurston Fire were dispatched to the crash on Littlerock Road at 123rd Avenue Southwest.
“A vehicle left the roadway at a high rate of speed and struck a tree,” Sheriff Derek Sanders said in a social media post.
Dawn Cooper of Rochester then self-extricated herself from the vehicle but died nearby. Her body was found partially in a stream, but not submerged in it, Coroner Gary Warnock said.
A cause of death was not immediately known because her exam took place on Tuesday.
