A 75 year old man, David Brenchley, was killed after losing control of his vehicle and rolling on Highway 395 Friday afternoon. Brenchley was driving south on Highway 395 near Ritzville with four kids in the car, ages 10 to 11 when the crash happened. According to troopers, Brenchley drifted into the median, tried to overcorrect and rolled the car. The four kids were taken to an Adams County hospital for their injuries and Brenchley died at the scene. The four kids were treated, then released and are predicted to be fine.
At about 9:00 am, Dempewolf was traveling east on Highway 12 when he veered off the right shoulder, overcorrected, and veered off the left shoulder before finally striking a rock. Dempewolf was hurt and taken to the hospital, though further details on his condition weren't available. The crash was likely simply caused by inattentive driving according to authorities, and Dempewolf will probably not be cited.
