SEATTLE, WA : Victim in crash involving deputy identified as immigrant rights activist on Saturday, 29th August, 2020

The victim in a terrifying crash Saturday has been identified by family and friends as 42-year-old Sarah Leyrer.
There’s now a memorial at the site of the crash in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood.
Family and friends describe the victim as an advocate for immigrants’ rights.In fact, one of her law school classmates was Seattle City Council President Lorena Gonzalez. She shares the grief being felt across the city embodied in this memorial growing here outside where Leyrer died.
Sadness hung in the air as Leyrer’s cousin and a good friend added to the memorial already growing near where Leyrer’s life came to an untimely end.
“She did so much work for immigrants at detention centers on her weekends,” said Emily Reilly, a friend. “I just can’t say enough of how much she did. And she was just a delight.”
Leyrer and her beloved cat, Yeller, were in the car, when a King County sheriff’s deputy, in the midst of a medical emergency, plowed into hers and two other cars. Her husband was inside the nearby pet store.
