MATTAWA, Wash. (AP) - The Grant County sheriff’s office says two dump truck drivers from the Yakima, Washington, area have died in a fiery head-on crash near Mattawa.
Investigators determined that a Peterbilt dump truck loaded with gravel and driven by 53-year-old Bruce Patnode of Yakima was northbound Wednesday morning on a county road approaching an intersection. The sheriff’s office says Patnode’s truck crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a southbound Kenworth dump truck and trailer driven by 45-year-old Dale Peters of Selah.
Both men were ejected and died at the scene. The trucks caught fire.
