18 Year Old Woman Dies in Swakane Canyon Rollover Collision

Chelan County Sheriff deputies responded to a report, at around 7:45 a.m. Monday, of a vehicle rolled over in the area of Nahahum Canyon and Swakane Canyon that resulted in one fatality.

According to Chief Jason Reinfeld, the reporting party was one of the two occupants and she reported the other occupant had been ejected and was underneath the vehicle.

"It looked like they had been going eastbound on Swakane and the vehicle left the roadway at a low speed and rolled over. One of the occupants was partially ejected and the vehicle came to a rest on top of them," said Chief Reinfeld.

The 18 year old East Wenatchee woman was deceased when deputies made it to the scene. The reporting party and other occupant was a 32 year old Des Moines, Wa. woman. She had sustained minor injuries and was transported to Central Washington Hospital.

At this time, the cause is still under investigation.
