Man sought in deadly crash

The man accused of causing a crash that killed a Colbert toddler last week is being sought by authorities who believe he has gone into hiding.

Secret Witness is offering a cash reward for information leading to Michael Q. Beckley’s capture.

The Washington State Patrol has five detectives working on the case in cooperation with the Spokane County Fugitive Apprehension Team, said Trooper Jeff Sevigney.

The 34-year-old Beckley crashed his Chevrolet Blazer into the back of a station wagon carrying 22-month-old Gabriella Autry and her mother.

The Washington State Patrol has a $100,000 arrest warrant for Beckley. He has been charged with vehicular homicide.

Beckley is 5-foot-11, 175 pounds and has brown hair and blue eyes.

His last known address is 5314 W. Sunset Highway.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the Secret Witness tip line at (509) 327-5111.
