Elderly Woman Killed, One Injured In Double Rollover Crash Near Ritzville
One person is dead and another has injuries following a two-vehicle accident in Adams County on Friday afternoon.
The Washington State Patrol says it happened at around 3:30 p.m. on U.S. Highway 395 about five miles south of Ritzville when a pickup truck driven by 55-year-old Natalie DeBusschere of Ellensburg rear-ended a sedan driven by 77-year-old Betty Harris of Lind.
