According to state police, 24-year-old Humberto Ruiz Vargas was westbound when his car drifted into the gravel shoulder of a curve. He overcorrected, crossed into oncoming traffic and was struck head-on by an SUV. Ruiz Vargas was flown to the hospital where he later died. The two Redmond women in the SUV were also seriously injured.
