A Bothell man has died after rolled his convertible into a ditch in Lynnwood on Feb. 23.

Christopher Kmetz was taking the off-ramp from southbound I-5 towards state route 524, also known as 196th Street in Lynnwood, when he lost control of his car at around 6 p.m. on Feb. 23.

His convertible, a 2003 Honda S2000, ended up sliding into a drainage pond on its side, submerging Kmetz for an unknown amount of time.

Christopher, age 41, who had been wearing his seatbelt, was given life-saving efforts by first responders.

He was originally sent to Swedish Hospital in Edmonds, but was transferred to Harborview in Seattle later on.

Kmetz succumbed to his injuries and passed away at Harborview five days after the accident.

While no drugs or alcohol were involved, it does seem that speed was a factor in the accident.
