A 56-year-old woman from Richmond has died near the U.S. Border in Blaine after her car crossed the centre line and collided with a semi-truck Sunday afternoon.

According to Washington State Patrol, Tupou Dyck was driving a white 2016 Honda Accord northbound on State Route 543, south of H Street, when her car crossed the line and collided head-on with the truck driven southbound by Jagjit Dosanjh, 51, of Surrey.

Both drivers, say police, were wearing seat belts and there was nobody else in either vehicle.

Dyck was pronounced dead at the scene, while Dosanjh was uninjured in the incident.

The state patrol is still investigating the cause of the accident.
