In brief: Spokane teenager dies in rollover on Highway 395

A 17-year-old Spokane boy died in a one-car rollover accident on Highway 395 in Clayton on Friday.

Johnathen M. Carwile was northbound in a Saturn SL2 shortly after 10 p.m. when his vehicle left the roadway on a curve and rolled, ejecting him.

Carwile died at the scene, the Washington State Patrol reported.

Girl dies in crash; passenger injured

A teenage girl was killed early Saturday and another teenager seriously injured in a one-car crash near Soap Lake, Wash.

Grant County sheriff’s deputies responded to the crash about 5:49 a.m. The girl, who was not identified, was westbound on the 3000 block of County Road 20-NE when her vehicle left the roadway and struck a driveway culvert. She and her passenger, a 17-year-old boy, were ejected from the vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
