Troopers late Friday released the name of the Rochester woman killed in a head-on collision between her GMC Sonoma and a Honda Accord driven by a Yelm woman on Friday morning on Old Pacific Highway east of Lacey. The woman who died was Rebecca J. Andrade McClain, 66. According to a news release from Washington State Patrol, the crash occurred at 9:18 a.m. McClain was driving east in her 1991 GMC Sonoma as she approached Rockcress Drive. The Yelm driver was traveling west in a 2011 Honda Accord. McClain's Sonoma approached a curve in the road, crossed the center line, struck the Yelm driver's vehicle head-on and came to rest in the middle of the two lanes, blocking the road.
