Trooper Guting Case Ends Without Charges | Seattle News

Prosecutors in Pierce County have declined to charge the two drivers involved in the fatal December 2025 crash that killed Trooper Tara-Marysa Guting, 29, who was struck while responding to an accident on State Route 509. The first driver, traveling 35-40 mph, said he couldn’t avoid hitting her; prosecutors found no evidence of reckless driving. The second driver, who didn’t stop, couldn’t be proven to have known he hit someone due to poor visibility and weather. The Washington State Patrol honored Trooper Guting’s legacy — a decorated Army National Guard veteran who served eight years before joining the patrol — while acknowledging the profound grief felt across the agency.
