The Washington State Wine Commission said in an email that Ross had"an incredible impact on the Washington wine community" and will be greatly missed. “I am devastated to learn of Sandy Williams’ passing and we @GonzagaU extend our condolences to her family, many friends and colleagues," he tweeted."Sandy: Rest In Peace.”. Her niece, Sami Sullivan, said she was visiting family in Seattle when the crash occurred. She leaves behind three children and a husband of more than 30 years, Sullivan said.
The plane went down in Mutiny Bay off Whidbey Island, roughly 30 miles northwest of downtown Seattle and about halfway between Friday Harbor and its destination in Renton, just south of Seattle. The owner told authorities he saw the other plane divert slightly off course and he tried to make radio contact but was unable to.
“That is very typical in times where there is either a hard landing or a crash of an aircraft,” he said.The National Transportation Safety Board said Monday they’re sending a team of seven to investigate the crash of the DHC-3 Turbine Otter.
