SPOKANE, Wash. — The Spokane County Medical Examiner released the identity of the man who died in a rollover crash near Ferris High School as 20-year-old Hasan Marzoog. The cause of death was listed as blunt force injuries.
At least one other person was treated for injuries that are not life-threatening related to the crash, according to Spokane Police Ofc. John O'Brien said.
O'Brien said at about 11:16 p.m. SPD officers, Spokane Fire, AMR medics and Avista linemen responded to South Regal Street and East Thurston Avenue for the two car crash. Officers said a car had gone through a fire hydrant, a power pole and rolled into a fence. O'Brien said the driver was trapped inside and had to be extricated by SFD.
Initial reports from witnesses and evidence at the scene indicated one vehicle was eastbound on Thurston at a high rate of speed and failed to stop at a stop sign at Regal. The car then hit a second car.
O'Brien said an adult and a juvenile in the second car were taken to the hospital where they are expected to be treated and released. He said the juvenile passenger sustained serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
SFD extricated the driver of the other car, later identified as Marzoog. After several minutes, O'Brien said they were able to get Marzoog out of the car and AMR transported him to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Spokane police said the crash is now considered a criminal investigation.
A Major Crimes Collision Team was called out to investigate the crash.
All lanes of Regal Street are now open after they were closed for hours due to the crash near Ferris High School.
