MARYSVILLE – A 43-year-old Marysville man died when his pickup left the road and traveled down a steep embankment near Index.

At approximately 9:43 p.m. May 10, the truck traveling west on Mount Index River Road toppled approximately 40 feet down an embankment two miles off Highway 20.

The driver was involved in a domestic dispute only minutes before at a nearby residence. When he drove from the scene a woman called 911 and reported the man as a drunken driver.

Ten minutes later another 911 call came in reporting the man’s truck off the road. The disturbance was later reported to deputies investigating at the crash scene. The cause of the crash and the reported domestic disturbance are both being investigated by the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, a news release says.
