Recent court documents obtained by News 9 reveal the actions of a driver leading up to a tragic head-on collision that resulted in the death of a 25-year-old woman in Washington state earlier in the month. Newport police responded to a rollover crash on Maple Street on Dec. 5, finding two vehicles damaged, one being the victim's severely wrecked car. The driver of the other vehicle, identified as Dylan Galland from Connecticut, displayed signs of impairment such as watery eyes, slurred speech, and the odor of alcohol.
