FOUR LAKES – A Moses Lake man was killed in a head on collision just before 5:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 11, near Milepost 267 of Interstate 90.
Roy Diamond, 30, of Moses Lake, died from his injuries while being transported to a Spokane-area hospital, according to the Washington State Patrol. Brian Bomengen, 54, of Spokane Valley, was injured in the crash.
Diamond was eastbound on Interstate 90 in a red 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse when his vehicle crossed the median and entered the westbound lanes of I-90 near Milepost 267, the patrol reported. Milepost 267 is between the Four Lakes and Salnave Road exits.
Diamond's vehicle struck a blue 2022 Ram 1500 driven by Bomengen, the patrol said.
Diamond died while being transported to the hospital, the patrol said.
Both drivers were wearing seatbelts, the patrol said. Neither alcohol nor drugs are thought to be factors, the patrol said, noting the cause of the crash is under investigation.
The Eclipse and Ram were destroyed in the crash and had to be towed from the scene.
