SPOKANE, Wash. — A rollover crash on North Government Way lead to one death.
At approximately 7 a.m., Spokane County Sheriff's deputies got a call about a rollover crash at North Government Way. Witnesses at the scene told officers a Ford Truck was traveling north at high speed. The driver then lost control of the vehicle, crossed over the middle of the road, rolled and hit a tree.
The adult male driver was not wearing a seatbelt, according to deputies. The driver was launched from the car and was pinned underneath the car once it stopped rolling. Medical staff pronounced the man dead on the scene.
Another male passenger, who was also not wearing his seatbelt, was treated for minor injuries and released at the scene.
Investigators believe reckless driving, speed and lack of seatbelts from both the driver and the passenger lead to the deadly crash. Investigators are looking to see if drugs or alcohol was a factor in the crash.
Government Way is now open to traffic, but investigators are still in the area.
