One Person Killed, One Injured When Truck Rolls

One person was killed and another is in critical condition after the pickup they were riding in early Saturday drove off a slushy roadway and rolled.

The driver, William S. Robertson, 29 of Deer Park, suffered head and internal injuries and had a broken pelvis. He was airlifted to Deaconess Medical Center where he died at 9:59 a.m., according to the Washington State Patrol.

Lescia I. Reid, 21, of Spokane, was listed in critical condition late Saturday at Deaconess, a nursing supervisor said. Reid was airlifted to the hospital with head and chest injuries, facial fractures and a broken pelvis and ribs, the WSP reported.

The 1972 Ford pickup both were riding in was headed northbound on Highway 395 when it crashed about 2:45 a.m. near Owens Road, troopers said. The truck rolled several times and came to a rest on its top.

Robertson and Reid were thrown from the truck.
