WSU student killed in Whitman County head-on crash

A fatal crash in Whitman County Sunday afternoon has killed 20-year-old Morgan Cope, a Washington State University Student. Cope is now the second WSU student to die in a car crash since Friday. We do not know what may have caused the Wigen to be distracted and cross the center line and there is no word on his condition at this time. WSP tell us drugs and alcohol were not involved in this crash.
