Bonney Lake Police officer Todd Green says workers were installing a sidewalk on the State Route 410 overpass in Bonney Lake, when a chunk of concrete fell to the roadway below. Green said the barrier was not being removed.

Dawn Nelson was not far behind the car that was struck. “I was just a second or two behind them. I could hear the three crunch sounds and it just came down,” Nelson said.
