A press memo from the Washington State Patrol says a white 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer driven by 25-year-old Matthew J. Mirelez was eastbound on Van Belle Road approaching Brien Lane when Mirelez swerved to miss a dog in the roadway. The driver then overcorrected, causing the vehicle to roll. Mirelez and a 3-year-old girl who was in the back seat were transported to Sunnyside Community Hospital. A front seat passenger, Melany R. Mirelez, 30, died from injuries sustained in the crash, which happened at 9:48 p.m. Saturday about two miles east of Granger.
