Seattle,WA : Ex-Jackson High School swimmer killed in auto accident on October, Tuesday 3rd 2017

former member of the Jackson High School girls swim team was killed in an automobile accident last week.

Shannon Prendergast, a 2015 graduate and four-year swim team member, died Tuesday

At about 5:30 a.m., Prendergast’s car struck a pickup truck that had flipped over after the driver swerved to avoid an animal in the roadway, according to a Washington State Patrol press release. The pickup truck hit a guardrail and ended up blocking the eastbound lanes. The driver of the pickup truck was able to exit his vehicle.

Prendergast, 20 of Everett, died as a result of the collision.

Jackson swim coach Drew Whorley wrote that the death of Prendergast, who was a student at Washington State University, left a deep hole the hearts of the community.

“As a swimmer, Shannon was part of our 2014 state championship team and a recipient of the Timberwolf (coach’s) award,” Whorley wrote in a social media posting. “Her attitude, work ethic and commitment to her team left a lasting impression on everyone she swam with and those who had the privilege of coaching her.”
