The State Patrol has identified a 58-year-old man killed in a traffic crash in Renton early this morning as Gilbert D. Bustamante.

There were no other cars involved in the 12:20 a.m. crash. The crash remains under investigation.

“Apparently the collision was pretty minor. It might have been a medical [situation],” said Trooper Julie Judson.
