A woman died from her injuries late this morning after a wrong-way driver slammed head-on into her car on Highway 520 near Montlake Boulevard about 5:30 a.m.

Police arrested the driver of the other vehicle and said it appeared he had been drinking.

The Washington State Patrol says the woman who died is Morgan F. Williams, 58, of Seattle. The driver of the other vehicle, an SUV, was identified as 25-year-old Michael A. Robertson of Tacoma. He suffered a leg injury and was taken to Harborview Medical Center. State Patrol Sgt. John Sager said the man was arrested for investigation of vehicular assault.

Sager said Robertson drove his 1993 Ford Explorer westbound into the eastbound lanes of Highway 520, crashing head-on into Williams’ Mazda Protege. Rescuers had to cut Williams from her car. She was taken to Harborview, where she died, said State Patrol spokesman Bob Calkins. Eastbound traffic was closed for more than two hours.

Williams, who lived in North Seattle, is a mother of two adult children and in the words of her brother, “was the glue who kept a lot of groups together.”
