Young Man Killed in Roll-Over Accident

A young man was killed when he flipped his car in Benton County, Washington Saturday evening.

The accident occurred in a remote area of Nine Canyon Road. According the deputies the vehicle rolled over twice, and the driver, who was the sole passenger in the vehicle, was found just a short distance away. The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but no other vehicles were involved in the crash.

The Nine Canyon area, where the accident occurred, was scattered with beer bottles and according to people who live nearby, parties are the only reason people go to the location.

“Unless you have some business up there, or live up there, it’s really a no man’s land,” said neighbor Carole Haegen. “I don’t know of anybody that goes up there. There’s nothing up there.”

The Sheriff’s Department has not released the victim’s identity and no further information was released.
