MOSES LAKE, Wash. (26JULY2018) – A 28-year-old Moses Lake man was killed and a man injured yesterday during a one-vehicle crash north of Moses Lake.
Mitchell Franz was the passenger in a 2004 Nissan 300X being driven by 29-year-old Justin Derricott of Moses Lake. The Nissan was traveling at high speed westbound on Road 9-Northeast about one-half mile west of Road K-Northeast when just before 5 p.m. the vehicle came to the end of the paved road, struck an embankment and rolled.
Franz died at the scene. Derricott was taken by ambulance to Samaritan Healthcare in Moses Lake.
Franz’s body is in the care of Coroner Craig Morrison whose staff will conduct an autopsy.
High speed and alcohol contributed to this collision. Charges against Derricott are pending.
