DEEP CREEK – Dashani M. Broomfield, a 21-year-old from Ford, tragically lost his life Tuesday evening in a motorcycle accident at the intersection of Brooks Road and U.S. Highway 2.
According to the Washington State Patrol, Broomfield was riding his 2006 Yamaha YZFR6 eastbound on Highway 2 at approximately 11:31 p.m. when he collided with a 2006 Ford Expedition driven by Kayleigh Roop, 18, from St. Maries, Idaho. Roop was attempting to turn left onto Brooks Road when the crash occurred.
The motorcycle came to a stop, blocking the westbound lanes of the highway, while the Expedition remained in the eastbound lanes, disrupting traffic in both directions.
