Snow blamed for dozens of car wrecks in Eastern Washington, Spokane

The first snow of the season in Eastern Washington, Spokane resulted in more than 70 car accidents.  Two of car crashes resulted in death of the occupants.  

The first was a head-on collision with a truck north of Deer Park in Spokane County, Washington.  Two young victims in the car were 20 and 18 years of age. The Washington State Patrol arrested a 39-year-old man for investigation of driving under the influence.  It appears that this car accident had more to due with drinking and driving, rather than the bad driving conditions.

The second car accident was a one car rollover accident along Highway 2 and Highway 211 in Pend Oreille County near Diamond Lake, Washington.  The drive lost control of his vehicle and rolled into a ditch.  The passenger was injured and taken to a hospital.
