PORT ANGELES — The driver’s license of Port Angeles man killed in a head-on collision Monday was suspended over failure to pay court-ordered fines.
Aaron Clark Eaton, 24, had his license suspended in the third degree, the least serious of all license suspensions, said Mark Varadian of the Department of Licensing’s public affairs office in Olympia on Thursday.
A driving-under-the influence conviction or other serious crime would result in a suspension other than the third degree, Varadian said.
Eaton’s stepfather, Donald Walsh, said the license was suspended because Eaton failed to pay some fines on time.
Walsh said Eaton was in the process of paying those fines.
Eaton was killed Monday night when the car he was driving crossed over the centerline of Old Olympic Highway just north of U.S. Highway 101 and collided head-on with another, Clallam County sheriff’s investigators said.
A passenger in the second car, Kevin “Kip” Lindsay, 42, a schoolteacher from Qualicum Beach, British Columbia, also was killed.
