EVERETT — The family of a Monroe woman, who died in a head-on collision on U.S. 2 in 2024, filed a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against the Washington State Department of Transportation on Nov. 24. in Snohomish County Superior Court.

The complaint alleges that despite a history of serious collisions along U.S. 2, the Washington State Department of Transportation did not take proper action to correct hazards on the roadway.

Around 6:30 p.m. Feb. 21, 2024 , a Snohomish man in a Toyota Highlander was headed west on U.S. 2 near Three Lakes Road when he crossed the center line and crashed head-on into a Toyota Sienna headed east, according to the Washington State Patrol. First responders pronounced the Toyota Sienna’s driver, Tu Lam, 55, dead at the scene.
