Boy dies after truck ends up in Grant County canal.

An 8-year-old boy has died after he was pulled from a pickup truck that went into a canal north of Moses Lake on Sunday afternoon, the Grant County Sheriff’s Office said.

Divers will search today for the body of an adult male who was in the truck with the boy and two others when it drove off a maintenance road on Billy Clapp Lake. The two other boys were taken to the hospital for treatment and are recovering. Two fishermen witnessed the truck go into the water around 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Foreman said. The fishermen pulled the first two boys from the water, he said. A Sheriff’s deputy and a Fish and Wildlife official arrived on-scene and jumped into the canal to rescue the third boy, who was not breathing when he emerged, Foreman said. CPR was started and the boy was taken to a hospital, where he later died. Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash.

What money damages are recoverable in a death claim? Every death from an accident is tragic. When a death is the result of someone else’s negligence, certain survivors may make a wrongful death claim against those responsible. Close relatives may recover monetary damages for the loss of financial support, as well as for medical, funeral, and burial expenses, lost earnings, and in some cases for pain, suffering, and loss of love and affection. Learn more about wrongful death and personal injury claims here…
