Spokane County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a single vehicle crash on South Gardner Road south of Cheney-Spokane Road and east of Marshal that left the adult male driver and only occupant of the vehicle dead at the scene.
In a news release, Spokane County Deputy Mark Gregory said that on April 20, at approximately 5:45 a.m., Sheriff’s deputies responded to the report of a single vehicle crash in the 11900 block of South Gardner Road. The caller reported a one vehicle rollover crash and the driver did not appear to be alive.
Deputies and fire personnel arrived at the scene where the driver was pronounced deceased.
Traffic Unit Investigators were requested to continue the investigation. The initial report shows the Honda was traveling south on Gardner Road when it left the roadway. The vehicle continued into a ditch and began to roll before colliding with a large tree.
The driver was found not to be wearing a seat belt. Speed was a factor and impairment may be a factor in this fatal crash.
The Spokane County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the name of the decedent along with the cause and manner of death at a later date, when appropriate.
